I'm never giving up on the Tigers .
AFL is not the same without Richmond there in September.
blx said:barracked for the tiges since i was a kid and im from WA! switched to eagles in '87as it was the thing all sandgropers did but came back to my senses the following season as i found it incredibly tough to cheer with gusto like i did the tiges.
anyway i was actually wondering if i'd made the right decision in '92 when the weagles won and the tiges were languishing but im glad to say i stuck firm and still continue to be a passionate Tiges supporter :angel:
got my usual post game texts yesterday from all me ol mates in WA, rubbing the salt in :hihi

Great story. Well done in recruiting another Tiger, Ms.Tantie. :clapMs Tantie said:TOT70 said:It is the first rule of life in Melbourne. Never trust anyone who has changed football teams during their lives. Supporting a team is DNA for all but the untrustworthy.
There are occasional exceptions TOT70...
My best friend was ostensibly a Carlton person when we met, having just picked a team to say she had one when asked (kind of a Victorian prerequisite) - never really following it.
I have since shown her the way of the tiger, she's passionately interested in the footy now, actually knows the players' names and numbers' and gets in a funk when we lose just like the best supporters. And she refers to RFC as "us".
I'd trust her with my life.
Ms Tantie.
