Tiger Supporter Highlights...please add yours

[Spirit of Jack]

These are my highlights as a Tiger fan, please share yours no matter how obscure. I'm sure I've missed heaps myself.

Oddly enough number 5 was an incredibly special moment for me, with the Richmond faithful being so proud of the boys after being starved of success for so long - that even during a massive defeat it was thanking them for their effort during that year. It was the closest thing we'd get to singing 'you'll never walk alone' at Anfield!

1 Winning 1980 GF
2 Making the 1982 GF
3 Beating Essendon in the 1995 finals
4 Matty Knights 3 bounce goal in the 1995 Essendon final
5 Belting out the club song during the last qtr in the huge loss to Geelong in the 1995 preliminary final at Waverley
6 Beating the Kangaroos at night in 1998
7 Beating Essendon in the last round of 2001
8 The 71 point turnaround against Hawthorn in 2003
9 Richo's ten goals against the Bulldogs in 2004
10 Miller convincing Wallace to become coach in 2004

Seeing as I only became a member at the start of 2001, one of my highlights was

Beating the Doggies at the Dome by a few points. Real heart starter (or stopper).

Is this the one when Browny (then a doggy) was mugged by some Tiger in the goal square and didnt get a free...that game was a ripper!

My most memorable highlight in the past few years was travelling down to Melbourne to watch the Tiges play Hawthorn at the Dome in the second last round of 2005, I met up with a mate who is a Hawks fan and I was not happy as he laid it on thick as the Tigers looked gone in the 3rd qtr, in fact many Tiger fans left at 3 qtr time as we were (I think) 41 points down. The last quarter fightback was very tense and when Petts kicked the winning goal with only seconds remaining the place went wild! Funnily enough my mate was very quite on the way back to the hotel! :clap

If we can have some more of that type of fightback and spirit in 2007 I will be happy with our progress

Add in Nathan Brown's 5 goal last quarter to beat Collingwood in 2005 for me.

I remember that one well, I was just on my way down from the top tier, and in that time we kicked about 3 or 4 goals, thought we were a goner anyway, and started to walk out the door, but there was a massive roar, we kicked a goal and luckily afterwards, a Hawks ruckman was caught with the ball, then siren!

Was bedlem for Tiger fans!

 

[B1 and B2]

Richo's big mark in the goalsquare in his 200th game against Port Adelaide.
The resulting goal put us in front.
Clinton Grybas' call of Riiiiiiccccccccccchhhooooooo made it even better.

 

[Mr Pumblechook]

Add in Nathan Brown's 5 goal last quarter to beat Collingwood in 2005 for me.

Kicking Collingwood is always good.

The first half of the game in the rain at the G last year was a ripper:
* Krak kicked 4 or 5,
* Tambling took a screamer,
* Raines running bump on some Collingwood dufous
* Did Matt White kick his first goal?
* (and JON broke his collarbone )

 

[Disco08]

Richo's game in the mud at the SCG in '04 (?). The goal he kicked from 60 after a couple of bounces was unbelievable.

 

[evo]

Richos 10 against the Dogs was a gem.

 

[buzzman]

Stuart Maxfield's goal to put us in front against the bombers.. Thought the southern stand was going to colapse!. Then we drew ......

A highlight from a Golden Oldie here.

Watching the legendary Jack Captain Blood Dyer kick his now famous drop punt goals in 1940's with knees bandaged heavily, playing in the Punt Road mud, and still being a role model to young kids like me.

 

[B1 and B2]

Richard Lounder kicking 4 goals in his 1st game.

 

[Chiang Mai Tiger]

Balmey belting Ditterich right in front of me at the MCG still brings flutters of joy to my heart :love

 

[B1 and B2]

Must be a highlight because it sticks in my mind - Peter Wilsons cartwheel at the G in 1987.

[B1 and B2]

B1 l remember that.. Carlton were the top side at the time and we were on the bottom... "I'm getting GOOSE BUMPS again"

Laurie Fowler knocking out John Nicholls in the GF. The G was momentarily gob smacked when it became clear he wasn't getting up. Couldn't have happened to a nicer pr*ck.

That was a big highlight form little Laurie.
