From Warrnambool and supposed to be a mad tiger. Heard KB and Mark Allen on SEN refer to it several times. I don't watch much golf so I wouldn't know but apparently he has or at one stage had yellow and black grips on his clubs.
Pretty extensive list over 19 pages. Others not mentioned here include...Caro (obviously), Jon Ralph (Herald Sun), Michael Warner (Herald Sun), Matt Thompson (formerly SEN now afl.com.au), Paul Daffey (afl.com.au), Shane Perkins (Australian track cyclist, grandson of Polly Perkins), Carl Williams, Carson Kressley (Queer Eye for the Straight Guy), Gretel Killeen (couldn't stand her till I found out she's a Richmond supporter), Kevin Sheedy's mum (I'm pretty sure she's no longer with us but word is she refused to change), Vidya Balan (Bollywood actress), Stephanie Scully (character on Neighbours).
Others who are/were apparently mad tigers who have been mentioned include Froggy Newitt (jockey), Tim Watson, Luke Hodge (from a big tiger family and has said he still takes an interest in our games), Wayne Harmes (maintains he always has barracked for Richmond and playing for Carlton was just a job lol).
Footy-related there's obviously a truckload but off the top of my head David Rhys-Jones, Saverio and Anthony Rocca, Tony Liberatore (I nearly threw up when I heard that...then I just laughed).
After this it gets a bit sketchy. Been told that Michael Voss was but I'm not sure if that's true. Also been told that Aker was but that he didn't really care and more or less just barracked for individual players (lol why am I not surprised? Again no idea if it's true). Continuing on the Brisbane Lions theme I've also been told Justin Leppitsch was...I've heard him say he has a lot of relatives who go for Richmond but I also seem to remember hearing once he chose the number 23 cause his idol was Dermott Brereton so could be completely wrong. Finally I think I also heard Alphonse Gangitano (I know my guess would've been Carlton) but once again no idea if he actually was.
Yeah read that about Ash Barty. Need to get an official link up with the kid n put us on the world stage.zippadeee said:
