I feel for Matty. He’s a tiny bit like Lonzo Ball for the Lakers. If his dad wasn’t such a big mouth when he’s had a few, people here would probably still love him.CC TIGER said:

Richmond 2017 AFL Premiers
- Thread starter Baloo
- Start date
Baloo makes a really good and salient point here. A lot of the negative commentary is coming from people who are so used to us being a joke that they can't get their head around us being the Premiers. Our win has seriously messed with their worldview.Baloo said:

With respect to whitey, hes not fit to even smell jason castagnes' nanas' lasagne.
no way does he get a spot in our September 30 2017 side IMO.
all the best to him though.
Always struggled with injury. Done him in by the end which is a shame. He was electric when on song
Matty White was an average footballer but had a good tank and pace to burn. He had a pretty good career considering his deficiencies. 150 games is a decent career. Would have been a life member had he stayed at punt road. I hope one day that he and his family will fall back in love with the tigers again... and perhaps even enjoyed a little bit of 2017 from afar.
Lost me when he did the Port jumper tug after being there for 5 minutes.
The absence of his father is glaring though. I'm sure he would have been telling us all about the pumpkins in our club had we lost the GF.

I just discovered that I had recorded the channel 7 version as well as the Foxtel version of the granny, so for the first time I got to see the players in the rooms, Richo bringing the cup out with Bickley, Mike Brady singing up there Cazaly , the national anthem, the party starts all over again
For the thousands of us who grew up with the Tigers been *smile*, it was a perfect choice to have Richo hand over the cup, the man ,the legend who kept hope going in some bloody dark days.
Also thought it fitting that the great Neville Crowe is on our memberships cards in our drought breaking premiership cards, think it summed up Crowey, did all the hard work but never got to truly taste the sucess . Thank you Mr Crowe without you we probably wouldn’t have won our 11th flag as the Richmond Tigers.
Thanks Corn Chip, was putting the membership card in the special drawer with all the other membership cards the other day and thought Mr Crowe would be mighty proud of this premiership team. Thanks Mr Crowe.CC TIGER said:
The book arrived in the mail yesterday.
A Season with Richmond - Yellow & Black.
Starting to read it on the train on my way into work.
Hope I don’t miss my stop - could just be an all day commute! :hihi

Had to laugh ... the prologue mentioned Adam Trelour and his quality of the list comment and how it will never be forgotten! :rofl
The reason I support the Tigers is my uncle Jack. Ever since I was little he and I have loved our Tigers (the only ones in the family) and he died last year and never got to see us win this cup.
Every year for a very long time we have been saying to each other - next year we will do okay.
Well I wish like hell he was here to see this win - he would be so happy - just like me!!!
I feel so content now.

I had an Uncle Jack who followed the Tigers too. He actually started out as a Saint, but I think that was because when he moved to Melbourne from Tassie he lived in the St Kilda area. My Dad converted him when he met my aunt. He would have loved 2017 so much.tigerlee said:

Yeah, my uncle Jack would have loved seeing that win too.
I grew up in Geelong so it was hard being a Tiger supporter in a family of Cats supporters. My uncle Jack (mums brother) hated my dad so he did everything he could to get me over to the Tigers.
I loved all the Tiger memorabilia he had at his house and he always let me look at his photos etc. After that it was a no brainer that I followed them. Much to my fathers disgust.
One of my best buddies who loved the Tigers dies suddenly last year also. We were the same age so would talk Tigers all the time and hope the next year would be our year. He also died before getting to see that win but I reckon he would be watching and have a huge smile on his face!
I was fortunate in that respect that both of my parents supported the Tigers, and my father converted pretty much everyone in his family. I only had one other uncle who was serious about his football and he followed the Hawks. Mind you he started out as a Tiger, and was actually the reason my mother supported Richmond, but they lived in Glen Iris and were zoned to Hawthorn, he was briefly on their U19 squad, so converted.tigerlee said:
