I vividly remember March 26th, 2009. Opening game of the season. MCG sold out. Cuz had arrived. Membership reached it's record peak. Richo off a career best season before. Our midfield a year older and tougher. Forward line looking good with Jack and Schulz blitzing the pre-season. Will, Luke and Kelvin solid as usual. New rookie elevation of the Ranga Ruckman who showed he was AFL ready.
While the media and bookies had Carlton clear favorites, the Tiger faithful were quietly confident.
2 hours later, I had lost every once of excitement I had been building up for the 2009 season. I'm not sure it could have been worse.
