more feelgood tiger moments

[nitrotiger]

I was definitely at the 1982 MCG game, on Anzac Day, I think. I remember Glenn Hawker playing a very good game for Essendon. The baby Bombers had just arrived. They played well for 3/4s, then we killed them.

A very good game and, at the time, I think it broke the record for an attendance at a H&A game.

Thats the game!Thats the last game I saw in Vic before coming to QLD!
Still fresh in my memory...and that goal roachy kicked!
Sadly,Ive never seen the tigers win at the gabba....got to the point that if I went,it would jinx em....but looking forward top lotsa tiger wins in future....... ;D ;D ;D

Sorry to be correcting you again Phantom (and this time I think I might even be right  ), but it was Easter Monday, about Round 3. I was there, it might even have been my birthday from memory (or did it just feel like that?).

It wasn't a record attendance overall, but it was very high (about 92,000) and I suspect it might be a record attendance for a Richmond game. Overall record is 99,000 for a Melbourne v Collingwood game on a Queen's Birthday weekend in the 50s or 60s - I'm sure someone can confirm that. . .

12 April 1982, Rd 3 before a crowd of 90,564 @ MCG.

Wasn't much in it up to 3Q time:  Rich 15.18 - Ess 14.13

Last Q was what did the damage:  Rich 25.22 (172) - Ess 16.14 (110)

We did them again in the return match @ Waverley winning 82-65.

Ah, heady days!   ;D

Even though we lost, i can still remember the '95 Prelim. I will never forget all the ferrals waving their scarves above their heads and singing "Tigerland" while the game was on, even though the pussies beat us by 80 points.

But my favourite would still have to be the week before, comming from behind and giving it to the Bombers.

I idolised theFreezer man & his hard approach to the game....
1, the huge bump on Wayne Henwood
2, when alot of girls thought Tingay was the goods, Freezer collected him in the goal square at the PRE, Tingay was flat out on his back, as he went to get up 20 seconds later, he sat up for a split second & just went straight back down again. Gold, absolute gold.
3, this is not great in todays climate of no fisticuffs, but when freezer thorugh a cracking right into the side of David Bains head & knocked him out cold, Bain missed 3 weeks with concussion, Freezer missed 4 weeks courtesy of the tribunal.
Long live the FREEZER!

As far as games go, when Hogg kicked 10 against the pies in 91, I was pretty rapt, I even brought the name-a-game video of the match.
Though the comeback against the Bummers in 95, the noise at the end of the game was just awesome.

This year my feel good moments were Richo's 200th, and the Hawks game at the Skating Rink.
But my best was the C'wood game...was stuck in a small village on NZ's South Island and feeling a tad homesick after a week's touring. Friend was texting me the scores and as we behind the homesickness really kicked in....... by the end of the match the whole restaurant was waiting with me for the scores and when we won everyone helped me sing the song!
Home sickness cured ;D

That was a warm, sunny day I'll never forget even though I was crushed as 15 year old somewhere in the Southern stand. Never heard a Tiger roar since.
