2020 Membership card

[Tenacious]

Received my 2020 Platinum card yesterday which means I’ve accumulated a good collection over the years - but for the time ever I was left unimpressed.
FWIW the photos on the front include two players that I don’t recognise and in whom I have no interest in whatsoever.
Obviously there will be fans who like this move but it absolutely ain’t for me and I feel peeved that it’s been forced on members in this way.

haven't got mine yet. I'm assuming there's girls on the card tenacious?

Tigers are pushing social boundaries concurrently with winning premierships.

The only way I try tell people how to think or do, is focus on the positive.

If change isn't for you, focus on the premierships, $25m in the bank and this golden era.

Personally, there's nothing the tigers are doing in these times that I dont love.

we could recruit Daniel Menzel out of retirement and I'd get his number on my back.

Congratulations eZy, I must have missed the announcement of your appointment as SOS's successor!

Mrs's and daughter #2's membership pack arrived today, they go to 2 games a year. Mine and daughter #1 no show, we haven't missed home game for 2 over 2 years.

I like the fact we have both AFLW and AFL players pics on the card. It shows we're serious about all the competitions we are a part of. In any case, it will be the first year we have an AFLW team so some recognition on the membership card is appropriate.

Yeah fair enough and each to their own obviously.

Meanwhile I’ve looked closely at the fridge magnet fixture included with the membership pack. While I couldn’t give a rat’s clacker for the first six games of 2020 – the seventh game of the season is definitely something to look forward to.

Assuming I’ve read it correctly – on Mar 19th the Richmond Men’s team are playing the Carlton Men’s team in a home game at the ‘G.

Not interested in AFLW either, but I guess the club needs to push its latest investment.

 

[Coburgtiger]

Ha, such grumpy old men.

Mine arrived today, daughter #1 still a no show.

Im much more self conscious about wearing a jeep sign around on my chest

than having a big strong woman on the plastic card in my wallet

Jeeps are complete heaps of *smile*. I wouldn't bury one in my paddock in case a cow grazed the grass that grew out of one.

whereas I love women. Especially big strong ones.

Could not agree more it’s the Richmond men’s team membership not the women’s. Should have been like the 2018 card.

 

[Tigermad2005]

Does the women’s team membership card have me on it?

 

[Sintiger]

It must be the off season.

I wonder what percentage of our members have any interest in aflw? Now with our own team.... Mine is same level as yours L2

Im not terribly interested, but Im extremely supportive if that makes sense.

and Im sure if Richmond women are playing the Collingwood girls on the TV, I'll get pretty interested pretty quickly

It was one of the questions on a recent member survey, so the club would have the figures.

I happily follow Test cricket without watching any Big Bash, and have a similar approach to this.

 

[zgod]

Actually pumped about the aflw.
Have two girls and my eldest is taking a strong interest in footy.

 

[LeeToRainesToRoach]

The thing the doubters miss is her increased interest is applying to the AFL program as well as AFLW.

Plenty play sport at lower levels than the one they follow. If women enjoy playing footy then good for them.

 

[DavidSSS]

I think it is fantastic, AFLW is the best thing to happen to football since the expansion to a national competition.

If anything, I'm disappointed there are separate memberships for the AFL and AFLW programs. I would have preferred every membership to increase by $5 and be a full club membership, which would have injected 500k into the AFLW program.

I agree, but I note that the AFLW membership is "Richmond Women's Football Foundation" or something to that effect. I suspect the Richmond membership may technically be for all teams: AFL, VFL, AFLW, VFLW and VWFL. The Womens' teams are teams fielded by the Richmond Football Club, it isn't a separate club, it is part of the same club.

How well are we going. It's a week before draft and a few weeks post trade period and all we can find to whinge about is who is on the membership card.
What a glorious time to be a tiger!
