Its @richmond_fc’s very own Bambi’s (aka Trent Cotchin) 50th game today.
Fingers crossed the boys get up against the doggies for a 4th in a row, unfortunately I think they will be too quick for us and the game is at Etihad… Stupid Etihad. On the bright side they don’t have Lake in so maybe just maybe if our midfield ie Bambi can get it down to Riewoldt and Miller stays out of his way we may just be in with a chance!
Well we all wondered how long the Tigers winning run would last…. well I guess not long enough.
I went along to the MCG today to watch a hapless Tigers outfit succumb to the North Melbourne Kangaroos by 50 points.
In a wet and scrappy game, the Tiges were lackluster, showing none of the hunger of recent weeks.
The final score was
North Melbourne 15.13 (103) def Richmond Tigers 7.11 (53).
….dissapointed
Now that uni is finished I have my weekends back. Last night I was able to drop into Edihad Stadium an watch the Mighty Richmond Tigers rack up their 4th straight win of the season
What a turn around from the winless start to the season!
This win was even more memorable as Freo has been flying and is a top 4 team. On top of this, the Tiges were playing at lest half of the match without 2 players, with Griffiths copin a popped shoulder and Nason with blurred vision after a headclash with King.
I could (and should … and will) mention that there was some horrendous umpiring decisions, particulalry in the first half. Many going against the Tigers. This may have been accentuated to me at the time, as its hard to see with both eyes when you are amonst the yellow and black army ;) However it is worth mentioning that the free kick count stood at 13 to 21 at full time, in favour of Freo. We won despite these Maggots! …. so moving on!
It was good to see Nahas have a run in place of Tambiling who was omitted at the last minute due to soreness. He kicked one, but looked a little small out there and wasn’t the most influential.
Jumping Jack Reiwoltd finished the game with 5 and Andrew Collins with 2.
Damien Hardwick called this the “Best win of the Year”, and as I was actually there to see it, I wouldn’t be arguing the point.
The boys did me proud! I am still over the moon, and have not fully come down from last nights high.
I can’t describe the feeling when the final siren sounded and the Richmond theme song was played over and over…… still chuffed
The final score was…
Richmond 15.10.100 d. Fremantle 11.15.81
Carn the Tiges!!
I received my first Richmond membership in the mail yesterday. It is only a 3 game membership … but its a start.
The plan is to catch a min of 3 home games once my uni exams finish and I get my (guilt-free) weekends back.
So far the Tigers are winless this season… and there is a good chance that they will be winless at the end of the season.
This has not influenced me against getting a membership OR wanting to attend some games! …..
cue the abuse and taunts
None from four to start the season….. am finding it hard to write anything about this… kind of expect it and am far from shocked.
Get out of the tabloid headlines and onto the scoreboard lads!!!!
Carn the tiges!
