I just want to say that my Dad, a true Tigers fan, passed away yesterday. I've been dealing with a fair bit for a while now with him, and I'm gutted right now. He said to me in 2016 that he could die happy if the Tigers could win another flag. They went crazy for him and won 3.

Now, the sentiment should be to put footy aside and wish that the Tigers could win this one ... for Dad. But Dad ... you tormented me with your smugness for much of the last 8 seasons or so. I didn't have much to offer in the way of banter during this time, and even last year when the spoon came to Tigerland, you'd laugh at my banter and then promptly forget due to the dementia.

Now one day out for what should be the crowning glory of our resurgence and Richmond being at their lowest ebb, you up and die one day before the game.

I hope we smash the Tigers from pillar to post and someone at the pearly gates tells you the score.

When your ashes are returned to me, I'm putting you on my mantle so you can watch the games with me this season, until we put you in your final resting place come spring. Now you can't avoid the scores.

I love you Dad. Talk to you at the full time siren you cheeky bugger.
Just enjoy the game with a beer, a cheer and a tear

My condolences ODN, may he rest in paradise (may the score not upset paradise too much for him) [emoji146][emoji170]

Funny Game this, when we were crap all as you heard about was Richmond. Now that Richmond are crap all as you hear about is Richmond. Somethings just never change don't know why I was expecting it too.
