Exciting isn't it?

[Strawbs]

I was lucky enough to have been there in 1980 when we won the flag. To all those supporters too young to recall the glory days I say, 'SOAK IT UP! ENJOY THE RENAISSANCE!' We are far from a premiership contender at this stage but we are on the right track. The rebuild has been careful and thorough so hopefully no false dawns. It's so nice to see stats thrown up where the Tiges are in the top few in the league (scores from stoppages, percentage of inside 50 that result in scores etc). Two hoodoos down in consecutive weeks. Time for a really big scalp this week or next.
EAT 'EM ALIVE TIGES!

Yeah I got it.

Ah, enjoy it. We'll play finals for the first time in 12 years. As I said, we're not flag material but we should be revelling on the ride.

**** man I'm excited

 

[Cevap_Roll]

I'm so excited.
Think I will throw my hands up and do a little dance.

 

[Spagman]

I was 10 in 1980, but remember the win. Shame we lived so far away, we didn't get to the footy much but I remember my old man putting multiple copies of the Weg poster up at home and around his factory

Whilst I agree that we won't go deep into the finals as a lot of people have suggested, I also think once we're in we shouldn't be totally written off. I think we will either finish 6th or 7th and most likely play collingwood, freo or port at the MCG. Absolutely no reason why we wouldn't win any of those games. Think back to the hawks game last year and what these players are capable of. If the players come to play and weve got the mighty tiger army behind them...Absolutely no reason why we won't be able to produce some great results.
Not saying its going to happen- for me the lid is well and truly on still and I think we're 2 years away from being a true premiership threat- but you are right OP- it is exciting!!!

I think that a lot of the haters don't realise that most of us aren't expecting to be in the mix for a flag. For us, just making finals is an achievement and a sign that our rebuild has been paying off. On our best day, we can mix it up with anyone so we have the capacity to scare a few teams - I'd love to see how our players go in a final, especially when I think probably almost none of them have played finals before.

I am 22 now and i don't remember the 91 finals series and only have a very limited memory of 2001. It's been a rough and bumpy ride but and I am so proud to have been through the tough times and i'm sure I'll shed a tear when the boys run out for their first final in 12 year.

I was around for the glory years of the 70s - but 30 years has hit me hard.

I am not going to celebrate until it's mathematically confirmed. 2 more wins..............................................

 

[RunningBounce]

I'm ****ing excited and just enjoying the ride

Finals or not, we are playing good footy, beating good teams and have a core of players under 25 years old that are probably going to get better and better.

Congrats guys on a very good season so far. Some of my favourite players are Maric, Cotchin, and Dustin Martin (whose from Sydney). Looking forward to the game on Sunday. In both our premiership seasons you have beaten us (2005 and 2012) so a loss for us may not be that bad lol. Definitely think this game will be won in the midfield battle and whoever gets on top. Anyways regardless of Sundays result I'm backing you guys to finish 5th and at least make a run to the prelim.

ISN'T IT?!?!

[CQTiger]

Just re-watched the last quarter again and usually only cheer when it's live but found myself letting out the odd yessss and a fist pump. Been in a good mood since even helped the missus with the housework

 

[TheAnt]

You know it is unlikely but it's still possible that Sydney lose to Collingwood, Geelong and Hawthorn and we win our remaining 4 and make finals if Essendon get stripped of points..

 

[THE_GUN]

has anybody got a link to the replay, Cant seem to get the bigpond to kick start

 

[Cotcho]

YES
