Richmond 2017 AFL Premiers
- Thread starter Baloo
- Start date
Every fan will think this about their club. And I guess every premiership is unique.
BUT....
This is the best premiership. Ever. Period.
Why?
First ever coming from 13th, sure. But...
If you haven't already, watch the videos on the club website. In particular Dimma's and Peggy's.
It spells out why this year was so great.
I won't say any more on it....just watch them. You WILL tear up.
And once you've composed yourself watch the tribute to Ivan Marie. You'll lose it again.
I don't know any of you. You don't know me. But really, we do know each other. Even though this unbelievable feeling is indescribable, we know EXACTLY how each other feel. We all scream "yellow and back" in unison and harmony. We may not be standing next to each physically, but we stand as one. We are all vital cogs in the massive machine. We're it's lifeblood. The sum of the parts greater than the individuals. I can control my emotions pretty well most of the time. But when the tiger army roars, I choke up. Even watching a replay of a goal ten times over. I still choke up. The roar. It gets me every time. Why? Why does it get me so easily? We ARE the loudest. We ARE the best. You. Me. We. The tiger army. Once you're a true tiger you can't help but be a tiger. And why would you want to be anything else?
You're all the best.
GO YOU TIGER ARMY! GO YOU TIGERS!
YELLOW AND BLACK!!

My daughter is only 7 months old, but we watched the game together on TV. For the most part I kept my cool in the first quarter and was happy as Larry thereafter. By three quarter time my wife even said it was nice to see me leaning back and sitting on the couch properly.
It does feel so unreal. I've been watching and listening and reading everything I can to try grasp the reality of us winning. It's still not sinking in properly. I've watched Jack on 360, and the game over and over. I saw someone else say the same elsewhere on PRE, but it still feels a little like we could still blow it after all those close losses. I know we can't, and despite all the uneasiness, there's unbridled joy. Such raw emotion from a sport. I almost feel guilty that a game of footy makes me so happy.
But, there's about 100k of us out there, and I'm tipping we could walk through brick walls right about now. So it can't be too bad for us, surely.

Caro spoke about it on Offsiders. I thought she put it well. She talked about feeling like a better person because of it even though she knows she had no part in it.
Still can't believe we won the flag.
And to smash all of the top 4 sides by 51, 36 and 48 points is even more unbelievable.
Average winning margin of 45 point.
Can't remember a more convincing finals series.
Be interesting who's had the highest winning margin in a finals series?

I’m still shocked and stunned if I’m honest ... we are premiers. FMD. Never thought I’d see the day.
It’s beautiful
