Most stupid thing I have done in the name of Richmond

Some of these are fantastic...

When Terry Wallace became our coach for five years I made a bet with a mate of mine - it was a particually drunken night - that richmond would play in  - not win - a premiership in Terry's first contract. I figured hey wallace has five years and look what he did with the doggies.

Now the bet is that the looser will do a twenty minute fringe festivil show. Yes Twenty minutes on stage....

Go tigers!

Was at Subi Vs the Eagles the only time we have ever beaten them over here. A mate of mine (also a Tiger) was with me, dressed to the nines in our Tiger gear, and as you can imagine we were pretty happy with the result and had had a few to boot.

We decided we had to go to the toilet for a snakes hiss, and while we were standing at the urinal we noticed that someone had done a *smile* in a plastic pint glass and put it on this little ledge just off to the left of the urinal.

Then this Eagles supporter walks in wearing his jumper, beanie and scarf, and goes to another urinal with his back to us. Because we were half cut we seemed to take an enternity doing our business, and this guy finished his before us. Anyway, he goes to walk out, and my mate calls out to him to give him a bit of curry and says "Hey mate, you forgot your glass" and pointing toward the middy with the *smile* in it.

I was just about to start laughing when this bloke turns around. Fair dinkum, he looked like Chopper Read and Danny Southern's love child. Arms covered in tats, short beard and long hair, missing a couple of teeth and a mighty mean looking hombre.

I saw my life literally flash before my eyes. I figured this big bastard was going to kill us.

I have never, ever been so happy as to hear the sound of this bloke laugh at the joke in my whole life.

I also seem to recall being at the urinal for another 20 minutes or so afterward......
This one is very funny - I hate Subi
 
I had some friends visiting from NZ and they were keen to see some Aussie Rules footy as they hadn't seen it before. As it happened, the Tiges vs Bummers game was on the tele that night, so with beers and nibblies we sat down to watch it. Imagine my joy as we headed toward a tight but highly possible victory ...and then THAT incident happened. Richo gets duped out of a goal by that evil, black and red maggot (was it Brett Allan?) with that 'hands in the back' *smile* and a 50 metre penalty. For the first time in my life (although I have been very close in the past) I started to cry, couldn't help it but the umpire's decision seemed so bloody wrong. I was highly embarrassed and I think my friends were a little concerned about my involvement in the game but there was no justice, noooooo justice. I also had an attack of potty mouth too so all in all, not a good night in front of non-afl friends.

Don't worry GT. I bet they would've known exactly how you felt as they sat there watching the All Blacks get knocked out of the world cup ;)

I think she means abit of "choice" language might have come out. Fair enough too! Bloody Brett Allen

Correct YT and 'choice' language would be an understatement. :'(

Stuff choice language. You were speaking in your social dialect ;D

Most stupid thing..probably never missing a match in KB's horrendous coaching career or never going home before the final siren in any match then or since!..also the MCG flogging by the Crows many years ago when something like 100 pts down at half time, getting a pass out then going back in to suffer more carnage.

That was the game Wayne Hernaman played at fullback wasn't it?

I decided that Mal Brown really was full of it the season I saw Hernaman play for us. Big Mal recommended him as a real star. He had pace, but I didn't see anything else.

He was a hack. I can't even really remember him being that quick. Maybe 'cos he couldn't get it and he was chasing a--e all the time he looked quick! :)

Hey, I am being serious here. He had a reputation in WA of having a bit of toe.

In fact, the only thing quicker was his career with the Tigers.
