The day that we have waited 37 years for.
Saturday 30th September 2017
Tears flowed, Songs were sung, drinks were consumed and many hugged even complete strangers on this day. The Richmond Tigers of 2017 were premiers in front of over 100,000 people at the MCG after a 37 year drought. Rhonda and I spent the day with my parents who are also lifetime Tigers. I have a little device that plays the Tigers song and I would play the song after each goal for a small amount getting longer and longer each time. By the end of the match when we were at the point that we had it won I played the whole song with all four of us singing along. This day was very special for us and will live in my memory for a long time. After hot dogs and mum and dad decided to head home we headed of to see some of the local Tiger people we know that were at Burkes Hotel. Even more drinks were had, even more songs were sung and this is where the hugging of complete strangers definitely occurred. 2017. The year of the Tiger
