Thought I'd take the plunge and join you brave types. I am a mid 30 yo stheast melb. suburbs girl. Tiger from day dot. Didn't have any choice but this is one instance where it's not necessary to question the olds judgement. Will never forget me as an 8 year old sitting up behind the cheer squad at the G with my little brother, so in awe of the passion and the noise associated with being a Tiger. Left a lasting impression to say the least. I am sport mad, obviously love my footy, but would basically watch any sport rather than "normal" telly. Played a fair bit of netball over the years, as well as coaching junior sides. Had a go at cricket but felt strangely out of place. >. Am a real lover of horse racing, family has had interests over the years as well as my younger brother being a jockey until he outgrew the trade. Have been a stressed and too often disappointed supporter which has resulted in my various tirades. Apologies. Trying to see the light(siders) and not be so negative going into this season. Love a fizzy drink of just about any description, and when combined with a giant tv and lots of mates around, that's my heaven.
