To think we have finished equal top with Geelong and Brisbane after where we were at the bye round is simply extraordinary.
Tigers have belief and resilience and some depth - all necessary ingredients to go all the way.
Well done tigers

Never thought we've got the credit for how we played in 17. (More about the crows falling over)
Peaked too early and had one really crap game when it mattered last year.
If we were to snag the flag this year through the adversity we've faced, and now having to start at the gabba, it'll stamp us as the fearsome club we once were...... and have become again.

I am absolutely convinced we were the best side in 2017. we only finished half a game behind the crows and we lost 4 games by under a kick that were heavily influenced by the Dumpires. break even in the close ones and we finish clear on top. Then we would never have heard about the sooks suggesting the GF should have been played elsewhere.
Love your stuff. I honestly think any of six sides could take us if we are off by an inch. Loved our second quarter comeback against the Weagles - true finals tough performance.
Y'all need a little more faith in the Richmond winning machine.
Extraordinary performance by the the whole team , from players both the AFL side & the Reserve side (players who came in and played the Richmond way), the coaches, the whole club.
I truly thought we were shot and would struggle to make the 8 and may scrape in the bottom 8 looking at the draw we had, irrespective being at the G.
Many on here had faith & belief.
Many still believe we can win it after drawing Brisvegas at the Gabba.
Saturday week cant come quick enough to see how we play. !
REDEMPTION TIME.

giving us a shot at a fantasy redemption/revenge story on The Pies.
Just caught the last bit of that former tiger fan Nat Fyfe on radio. ... asked his teams to watch in the finals, and I take it this is in order of their chances for the flag.....
Geelong, Footscray, Brisbane. ..... love it, not even the AA captain rates us!

It is quite staggering how the team that is clear favourites for the flag is not rated by most in the AFL industry. Yet everyone is raving about Geelong who have been putrid since the bye and only finished on top due the unfair home ground advantage they enjoy. Or the Bulldogs who are in good form but really have not beaten anyone of note in recent times and still have to win 4 finals to win the flag; history does not always repeat. Or Brisbane who we just beat by 5 goals despite playing in 3rd gear for most of the game.
Tigers just gliding under the surface like a great white shark.
Great post, easy to forget how grim the season was looking. Hard to pick the lowest point - thrashing from the cats, dogs, north?
Aoc heard the interview too. Beat me to the post.
Cats, Dogs & Brisvegas were his tips.
Still soiling Tigers didn’t pick him !
That’s ok. Hope they ALL doubt us!
Get it done Saturday and Let it be the start of Redemption 2019!

Leigh Matthews going senile at the MVP awards. Reckons Geewhinge should be flag favourites as they finished on top with 17 wins. Of course Yobbo and Mincey failed to advise him that they only won 16 games the same as Brisbane and Richmond

So, the seniors play next week while the VFL team has a week off.
If the seniors win then the following week they get a rest while the VFL team plays off in the Preliminary Final.
I’m not sure if that’s a good thing for team continuity, but I’m hoping to at least have a Tigers game to watch each week in September.

It's an interesting situation. Agree with your musings, TBH
Loved the fact that the VFL team had a stirring come from behind win today.
That said, I would have been okay about the VFL team having another game next week.
Means that positions each week are competitive and that the Tigers are playing each week.
Hope today's game reminds the seniors that every game is a tough, long haul.
The yin and yang of winning/losing is an interesting one.
The bye before the start of the finals almost makes the week's rest before the prelim redundant.
Two games of footy over four weeks isn't always the tonic.
It's not easy to win a flag but the Tigers have the capacity to do it.
I think it happened in 2017 too.
Both our teams results were disappointing in finals last year.
The vfl has already improved on last year.
