Agree, i probably would have preferred a non-celebrity supporter if there was no other suitable options available, but when she gives Trent cup i wont be worried she is there.
Obviously if you are not much of a tennis fan, have barely heard of her, don't care what her history is, and you haven't being paying attention to the numerous news items about Barty / Tigers on the Tigers website and in the sporting media over the years, etc etc, you'd have no idea that she has had a long association with the club from well before we started winning games regularly, and has a strong on-going connection to Cotch and others in the club.
And that's fine to not know or care.
But that then leaves you in a precarious position to make big assertions about the level of her involvement with the club and suitability to hand over the cup, when you literally have no idea.

Punt Road End. The best place to watch The Tiges.
Passionate supporter. Indigenous Australian, world famous, female, well known in Queensland. 21st century thinking.
Sorry, I think this is a *smile* decision. Surely somewhere in Qld, NT and SA we have a retired champion of the club who can do this. Joel Bowden comes to mind. I'm sure there are plenty of others. It's a fan this time, albiet a famous one. Will it be the highest bidder at a fundraising auction next time?
Geoff Raines was my favourite player as a kid but devastated when he left to the arch enemy so that’s a hard no from me.
I like the Bowden idea but am absolutely ok with Barty doing it if we win.

Well, not now that one of our #1 Ticket Holders was arrested for being a kiddy fiddler and has a known history of protecting kiddy fiddlers. Ash, by comparison, is a much better option.
KB and Bowden sure. Raines, we have much better options than him. Dale Weightman is someone who should be up for consideration for the 2021 Premiership Cup
just saw that sitting next to Ash Barty at the Saints Semi were Steph Gilmore and Nikki Van Dijk (tigers supporter) - 2 of the girls on the Womens World Surfing Tour. Anyway, should've got all 3 of the lovelies to present the cup. nice!
Ah, Fevola. Now theres an intellect whose opinion you’d really respect.
Ahh right is that who they were? They looked familiar but couldn't place them. Nikki Van Dijk is a Victorian if I recall correctly; Phillip Island I believe.
Good on her.
