The conclusion of the first 2003 trading period has left many Tiger supporters with severe depression. Several are doubting their own ability to see out the 2004 season and are are not sure they want to see in the 2004 season. A few have choosen to opt out entirely by having themselves cryogenically frozen.
Doctor Free of the Bandwagon Cryogenic Institute said today, "Look, Tigerland fans' morale is at an all-time low. For all the pre-trade talk, recently acquired players won't win them a flag or even get them into the final 8 in 2004, not when there is so much underutilised talent already there. They've traded away their first round pick for the 2nd year in a row. Worst of all it went to Essendon, and you just know that they'll pick a young gun who'll one day end up with a Norm Smith around his neck."
"Here at the BCI, we offer an alternative to another season of Tigerland pain and Monday morning humiliations. We'll freeze you up, and then thaw you out in 2005, or whenever the Tigers are next in the 8."
Richmond fans around the world have inundated the BCI with enquiries.
William Fairweather of Parramatta said, "We've got to rebuild and you don't do that by only recruiting players from other clubs. You've got to get rid of the hacks. I didn't see that happening and I don't want to see another season like last year. The wife and kids are a little upset that I won't be contactable for a year or so, but ultimately, they understand. My neighbour Jim respects my decision and has even volunteered to keep an eye out for the missus while I'm away. I'll be back though, don't you worry about that. I've left strict instructions to only wake me if we get into the finals or sack Spud. The Tigers will fight in 2008. . .or 2009. . .if we don't *smile* away our priority picks next year."
