Opinion A Tiger Conversion

[The Goon]

Must admit I'm a bit concerned with the mushroom risotto. Would have been more comfortable with chicken, or chicken and bacon risotto or ideally paella , but I think I can let it slide this once seeing as being premiers puts me in a constant happy glow. She's welcome aboard

Dude, if you don't have any idea about food don't seek to judge others on it.

I come before you all to speak on behalf of my fiancé.

She once identified as a Collingwood supporter but without much passion, but has now seen the light.

She watches and attends most Richmond games, she has excellent footy knowledge of all our players and her knowledge of the game and current issues is surprisingly good for a recent convert. She hasn't watched a Collingwood game since I've been with her for the last 3 years, apart from Richmond v Collingwood.

She regularly provides quality level 2 tickets from her work, she allowed me to book our engagement party on the bye week before last year's finals, she is a club member, she booked our wedding in the off season, and she has put the Richmond fixture on the fridge to check for clashes before making any social commitments for me. She also cooks a mean mushroom risotto.

She will raise Tiger children, and has allowed me to cover the shelf in Tiger 2017 related memorabilia, over the top of all our holiday stuff. For my birthday she bought me a signed Alex Rance footy and at a charity auction she bid on and won a Richmond logo’d Sherrin.

I must also add, and this part is genuinely true, she is open to naming our first son Rance James. She has also suggested we enter our wedding reception by running through a banner to the Richmond theme song.* (I must delete this part soon as it's meant to be a secret)

Has she proven herself worthy to be welcomed into Punt Rd?

Top work Juss! A resounding yes.

My wife was a Essendon supporter but jumped on the Tigger train when we had been going out for a year. Now we have three Richmond children and I have managed to convert a few cousins and family friends. Now we have a big entourage who attend every game

Can vouch for the veracity of the story. Both Juss and soon to be Mrs Juss are great Richmond people.

My wife is hawthorn, but loves her footy so I'm no chance of a conversion.

However she does wear Richmond stuff to our games as well and supports the team.

Wife is a druggie fan who used to barrack hard but the 1996 and 1999 PF losses sent her over the edge, she followed through 2000/01 and then drifted off after that, now she just checks scores if she can be bothered, daughter is also a druggie fan but...........................follows only tiger players on instagram, her favourite is Dan Rioli, she attended her first dreamtime last year with one of her friends and wore a tiger scarf, the other day when we played the druggies in the JLT, she said to her mum " i'm so conflicted " i then pipe up with " just face it your a tiger, you follow only tigers, you have the tiger app on your phone and you have no bomber anything, your a tiger "

Not quite there yet with the daughter but it is only a matter of when not if.
