Homecoming Hero

[Freezer]

Ahh Freezer. What a legend.

Right through from the under 19’s to captaining the Club, he was a Tiger through and through.

Not sure about his spell on the board though...

 

[Sintiger]

Didn't Tony Free used to torch the club on fan forums?

Probably rightfully so in those days!

Tony Free this weeks hero.

Welcome back Freezer.

That’s a home coming hero.
Huge loss in 95 alongside Richo.
Great player Tough as nails.

Freezer one of my favourites too. They should show the players his highlights before the game. If that doesn't fire them up nothing will

 

[Bullarto Tiger]

Very high opinion of Freezer
He was a great leader for the Tigers
Punched above his weight, so to speak, and never ever left anything in the tank when playing for the Yellow and Black.

PS What Dermie did to Free during his stupid and short playing days for the Swans (I think it was) was despicable.

 

[Billy24]

How about Freezer’s big shirtfront on Moose Henwood at the SCG early 90’s. Big Moose was down and out. Trying to find video somewhere?.........

One of the most courageous players I've seen play the game.

How he played on during some matches was inspirational.

Spot on, blx
Courage personified was Freezer.
Not the most gifted footballer running around, but he was, as you say, bloody inspirational and certainly led by example.

Triple premiership champion, and RFC team of the century player Merv Keane is the "Homecoming Hero" this week at the G.
Loved Keane in his day. A great player. Just got the job done. Grimes is so much like Keane in many ways.
My hat goes off to Merv and my heart goes out to him, given the trials and tribulations he has had to endure these past couple of years.
True legend of RFC

Had the pleasure of meeting Merv a long time ago. You wont find a more decent, humble man.

He'll be homecoming hero on Grand final day, he won't have anything else to do.

Might be at the Zoo again

Loved Keane as a kid too.

Jimmy Jess , Disco, Rioli, Tempany and Terry Smith (rip) I loved as well.

Bruce Tempany think we might of won it in 1982 (he was killing it) if that DOG McConville didn't stuffed his arm.

me too! Will want to be at the game early to clap along Keane. No fuss, did his job and beat opponents. God Bless.

Keane is a legend of the RFC triple premiership player 238 games.

Running creative Half Back Flanker.

Has 38 games and 2 flags over the next best #18 at the RFC in Alex Rance who has played 200 with 1 flag.

Hopefully Alex plays another 38 or more and wins another 2 flags to eclipse or join Merv.

Good times for all Tiger fans if he does.
