sometimes I think how lucky I am having a dad & a grand dad who are passionate Tigers. My Pop signed me up as a member when I was 6yo. they had passed their love onto me and my 3 brothers. We in turn have passed it on to our kids.
I remember how spoilt I was growing up watching our gun teams in the 60's, 70's & early 80's.
Then we changed coaches and captains every year for what seemed an eternity through the later part of the 80's, and my interest, surprise surprise, waned a little.
Whilst working my around Australia in this period, every where I went, I'd get asked what team I barracked for. I would joke that I barracked for the Tiges but didn't like to talk about it.
Then, in the early 90's, Northey got the boys playing with a bit of passion, They were having a go, They were worth watching. I remember that drawn game against the Bombers. Gale hurting his shoulder, pure G & D.
Even though I lived in Perth at this time, I bought a full membership. The Tiges were back in town and would surely win a flag soon.
Yep, I got criticised for being on the band wagon but I didn't care. Me all those other band wagoners saved this club from extinction by coming back to watch this team of goers.
I talked my now wife into coming back to Melbourne with me 10 years ago. The Tiges were 60 per cent of the reason i chose to come home. I would get to see them more often I said. Thankfully she understood.
This year I became a gold member and have spoken to Neville Crowe about starting a supporters group down here on the Mornington Peninsula. Stories have appeared in the local papers this week about it, hopefully it will be printed in the Sunday Herald Sun this week in the "desparately seeking" column.
Will I get any interest after that woeful inept disgraceful performance tonight? Will I throw my arms in the air and give up the supporters club dream? Will I get any interest?
I've read some of the other threads and people are quite rightly downright dirty. I'll never stop supporting them, but that was *smile* & disheartening.
I just wanna throw up right now
