Spring is in the air

[Rosy]

The roses are getting buds, fresh growth is covering the trees, the smell of wattle and fresh mown lawns tantalises the senses, the ducks and swans all have their little babies.

Spring is well and truly in the air and Melbourne is alive with footy fever. The papers, the telly, the radio, the people in the street are all talking about the Grand Final.

Please Greg and Terry and RFC players one day soon let us be involved in the last day of September celebrations.

My kids are adults now and they think it's normal for Richmond to go dormant in August. They've never really known any different.

It's almost impossible not to get caught up in the excitement and barrack for one of the last two teams.

This year I'll go for the Swans but as each year passes I wish more it was our beloved Tiges that were the team in everyone's thoughts on GF day.

Somehow I really believe we're well on track for it to be soon but another part of me thinks it's the impossible dream it's been so long.

I was at the Grand Final parade today and I kept thinking how amazing it would be to have my own team involved. At least I saw Lids go past, that added a bit of RFC to the event!

The day I see the boys in the GF Parade, will be the day I will be literally crying from joy.

Yes, it has been a very long time for all us die hard tiger supporters, but what we have endured over the last 23 years makes the Sydney Swan supporter's 73 year wait look like a walk in the park.

agreed agreed agreed......i will cry the day we make the GF and i probably wont make it to the game as i will have died of some sort of nerve related heart failure! Seriously i just cant wait for that day - if ppl reckon its big now...HA - wait till the mighty yellow and black with true supporters (and the loudest) join forces - the MCG will have experienced nothing like it!!!!
To see a team like Sydney - a team with not an ouotstanding midfield nor backline make it, really does give me a sense of belief that our turn is not far away!!!
When it is our turn i hope all the ppl here on PRE will get together as i luv u all!!
8ball - proud to be a melbournian!!!!

We were discussing yesterday at work what we would rather go to the grand final or the lion king? Easy answer for me. I said if Richmond were in the grand final I'd give up a kidney to be there. One of the guys goes but won't you need it so you can go to the game, my response was nah I have two I can spare one! :cutelaugh

Looking forward to the day when the tiges are there

No question of me flying back for the big day if Richmond make it..

I would like to be given that opportunity

Working in the city and walking through the streets before the parade yesterday really gets the hairs on the back of your neck stand up a bit. Great to see all the support for the swannies as well. Cant wait for the tigers to be up there again ;D

Just having woke up and turned onto fox for the GF marathon and who do they have playing???? Bloody tigers GF loss to that Carlscum back in 82 :'( But just seeing who played back in that game - the likes of Rioli, Cloke, Roach, Lee, Weightman, Wiley, Wood, Raines, Jess and Bartlett....sheessshh....

I'd stay in Melbourne for a few days before our GF too. I wouldn't want to miss a second of the atmosphere and celebrations.

Imagine how proud we'd be walking through the city in our Richmond colours and people jealously checking us out wishing it was their team playing.....Ahhhhhh dream on.
