Selected to present us with the cup should we win on Saturday night.

Great

I've been a member and supporter for about 45 years longer than her. I call *smile*.

A famous fan. Meh.

That's only because you're 45 years older than her.

who presented it last year?

 

[spook]

Poxy decision for mine., Presenting the cup is an honour for a former warrior of the club (or their wife), not a celebrity supporter gimmick.

Exactly.

 

[spook]

who presented it last year?

Maureen Hafey.

 

[Baloo]

who presented it last year?

Maureen Hafey, but not because she's Tommy's wife.

Maureen Hafey is Richmond royalty

Maureen Hafey, who will present the 2019 AFL premiership cup to Richmond coach Damien Hardwick and captain Trent Cotchin if the Tigers are successful in Saturday’s Grand Final against Greater Western Sydney, is a revered figure at Tigerland.

Extremely poor
Why ?
Geoff Raines . Team of Century. 3 x JDM . Life Member and Premiership Player
Or
Joel Bowden . 2 x JDM . Father was 1969 Premiership Player . 2 X All Australian . Great Tiger Family
And we pick a supporter
FMD !

Totally agree . Read my post below . Raines( lives in QLD) or Bowden who is going to game . Both will be there

Are you familiar with her history of support and interaction with the club?

Maybe she could play a set with Buckley as a curtain-raiser.

Geoff Raines?? He left the Tiges to play for the scum.

Joel Bowden.

 

[The Lurker]

Didnt know about Joel being at the game, though he would have been a good choice. I am okay with Ash doing it, further enhances our reputation as being inclusive. Love seeing Maureen punching the Air after presenting to Dimma & Trent in 2019. Hope Ash gets to do the job.

 

[achillesjones]

I don't think it is a poor decision, but maybe premature. Would love to have seen Roger Dean or Dale Weightman asked to fly up to quarantine for the game. Joel Bowden or even Mick Molloy would have been good too.

Joel is going

 

[Baloo]

Agree Joel would have been a good choice. Not just for his career but his family's history with Richmond.

But Ash is great contemporary choice. We are were we are by thinking and acting differently, why stop it now.

Raines I'm not sure about...not sure where his true loyalty lies.

Love the Bowden idea though.
