Black Armband was apparently for something that tragically happened to Merv Keane's daughter.

1114 is some sort of social experiment
My dads mate was originally gettinga ticket off him for me for the game he told me that it was his wife who ended her own life :( and dont worry he definitely didnt ask for a ticket after that...

Really wish I got on the beers yesterday arvo, didn't get a wink of sleep last night and ended up looking at Tiges memorabilia and tatt designs, would've slept soundly after a few jars.

RIP Monday.

UP THE ****IN' TIGS!!
I'm with you Brahj.....

I'm waiting to see if there will be an actual Tigers tatt design to go with, see a few posted already, so am waiting to see what the more popular design is.....

Where or when can we get the Black new era caps the boys were wearing yesterday? Look better than the grey ones in the store.

Oh, one more before I go to sleep.

I said during the week that I couldn't give a **** about being in the clash jumper and could now give even less ****s.

I love the thing, will be getting one as soon as there's some kind of premiership version of it and hope the club never changes it as our alternate guernsey.

It's part of history now. Embrace it.

I have been reflecting on this throughout the week. At first a felt we were a bit cheated by the Gillites re this. Now the dust has settled I actually think it is symbolic of how this club has managed to stay true to our core principles yet tread their own unique path to...I met another supporter in the HL bar at the game who was wearing the clash strip. He told me he actually preferred it and bought it halfway through the season and felt it was a good omen when we were informed we had to wear it! On top of this the club will make a killing being able to market both strips...Thanks AFL you just made us richer and stronger!

Punt road next year....

"They said you'd never make it but you finally came through, for all of those who've made it this Swan's made for you..." And with that Tiger fans mused about the halcyon days when Alan Bond owned the world and Richmond was one of his two dollar shelf companies. That fleeting moment gone, it was back to celebrating and wondering just how the preordained favourites fell so badly at the last hurdle and why the unbelievable had been just been delivered to true believers.

The story unfolds back last Thursday when, having failed to secure a third straight home final, the Adelaide entourage begrudgingly boarded a Jetstar flight to Avalon. With the entire team and support staff now hopelessly lost in the western suburbs, it was up to the coaching panel (having opted to land at Essendon due to safety concerns about Tullamarine) to conduct a ring-around and cobble together a new side. Meanwhile, the real team, having taken a maxi-taxi via Simmonds Stadium (to observe the physical design of a real home ground advantage) had been dropped in Footscray after a disagreement over the selected fare tariff (Level 3 - Interstate and Overseas passengers). This now presented as a real dilemma with those assembled fearing that they had actually arrived a day late in 2016. In an arrangement resembling a poorly executed defensive zone, they set about harassing locals inquiring as to the whereabouts of the MSG.

Fortunately, a private training session on Richmond's other home had been hastily organised by the AFL for the Crows allowing Pyke's hurriedly assembled collection of doppelgangers to pass themselves off as the real deal. Put through a series of punishing drills around witches hats (each emblazoned with the name of a Richmond player) Pyke announced to the heavily vetted media throng that the Crows not only "fly as one" but they would also "play as they trained". When queried about the seemingly obvious difference between cones with names and actual opponents, Pyke simply pointed to selected footage of their latest appearances against GWS and Geelong where opposition players could be clearly seen remaining motionless. Satisfied and chiding themselves for being so silly, the AFL propaganda unit raced off to furiously attack their Twitter accounts. The fall from grace was now in motion.

Footnote: After spending Friday negotiating a TAFE course on how to purchase and top up a MYKI account, the real Adelaide team arrived at Jolimont Station at 1.55 pm, by their watches. Unfortunately, before disembarking at Avalon, their friendly Jetstar pilot Captain Tony Jewell, failed to inform the Adelaide group to wind their watches half an hour forward. With no time remaining to strap, get changed and compare their latest ankle tattoos, it was left to the doppelgangers to take the field for the first half. Of course the ability of this group to run out four torrid quarters was always going to be questioned (much like the decision of Spotless Catering not to serve a pie floater and West End combo) and they were replaced at half time by the original side. The rest, as we know, is history!

Forgot to mention at yesterday's Family Day at Punt Rd, Sam Lloyd was asked if he could see himself lining up for the tigers in a back to back seniors flag in 2018... He said...no...no chance of that happening

Either lacks self belief or is out the door
I'm pretty sure he was referring to his chances getting a call up for saturdays game after winning the Norm Goss Medal.

Add to that magnificent list you compiled is the fact that we are the only team to win th GF from 13th the previous season.
Unbelievable.

Gave Jai Bednall a spray on Twitter. Encourage all of you to do the same. The location given is Sydney, Australia.

I unironically believe the quicker we get these NSW/Sydney campaigners out of the game the better. Whines about how Richmond winning is bad for football and in the same article tries to call out Victorian bias.

He just mentioned three Richmond players (Rance, Cotchin, Martin) and discarded everyone else as shitcampaigners. ******* nuffy of the highest order.

Wouldn't surprise me if he was the one that called the people who booed Goodes racist too - all that was NSW media driven.
The dumb campaigner says in his article it used to take a midfield of judd cousins kerr to win a flag...2 brownlow medalists and an overrated helper.

Martin cotchin prestia are easily as good as those 3. 2 brownlows and prestia if not better than kerr already will end up better

Watching the replay.

I lost count of how many times Goatsend tried to murder someone from Adelaide

Dermie wasnt kidding when he said he was the toughest kid in the league.
Was phenomenal in the 5 games he played. Nullified the opposition's best intercept defender Johnson, Carlisle, Henderson, Lever as well making an impact on the scoreboard with 18 goals.

I hate that article as much as the next bloke, but I think you're seriously underating how good Daniel Kerr was.
