Who if not the Tiges

A lot of my family are doggies & bummers supporters, I definitely NOT follow the bummers, so maybe I'd have just a passing interest in the doggies. But I wouldn't be a member or go to games.
I'd return to my roots & follow my old local club. Who as it turns out just happen to be The Tigers as well.

Bit harsh.... they had their die-hards, just not as many. Relocation is one thing but what they did to Fitzroy was criminal i reckon.
If Richmond merged with North we be called the Richmond Football Club or the Richmond Tigers, still wear the Yellow and Black and have "oh were from TIgerland" as our song, home base would remainPunt Road and home games still played at the MCG.
Sounds about fair.
Maybe allow half a dozen odd of their best players to join us as a token gesture.
And imagine our membership - it’d probably soar to something approaching 106,000
Know it’s hypothetical but reckon a connection with NM would be the only thing to make me toss in my interest in footy
I'd move into The Home for Old Richmond Supporters with dementia and alzheimers in Bridge Rd. and just keep on as if nothing had happened.
I'd try share room with an early onset bloke who was there in '17.
actually, since its a hypothetical, I may as well room with a really early onset tiger lady?
Whichever team was playing Carlton on a given week would have my full support.
Yep they had others in the gun before the Roy Boys including us.
Carlton was going to take over the Kangas at one stage, Footscray and Fitzroy was the famous merger stopped by the Doggies fans, and then the shithouse Melbourne Hawthorn merger debacle idea stopped by the Hawks faithful.
They needed someone out to get Port Adelaide in and it just so happened that the mighty Royboys were in their worst position for ever at that time.
The money to save the Roys was there but the Commission decided to get rid of them.
The Roys got killed off as an entity in its own right and the Power entered the comp in 97.
Port actually wanted to get into the VFL earlier when the Crows were admitted, but the SANFL wouldnt allow it, hence the Crows were formed to not damage the SANFL.
Both Port and the Crows have their reserves as part of the SANFL now, with the Crows reserves side filling the hole in the compettion created by the merger of Woodville, and West Torrens.

I’d still take a passing interest in the game, but I wouldn’t have any allegiance to another team.
A few years ago I might have taken an interest in one team but it would never have been with the current fervour I have for Richmond.
Now? I reckon within two years I would not even be watching games. Maybe the GF.
Can't watch them now unless Richmond are playing.

I have family tie to Carlton so I guess I'd go there. 
It would be pretty weird, although i have grown to like them more since they've been so bad for a couple of decades.

You'll change your mind the very next time they beat us, I guarantee.
I was watching them beat somebody last year, after they got their new coach. The crowd was going nuts. It reminded me of us in the bad days. I really enjoyed it.
i would be the same.
lived in st k before i left oz.
And though i hate to admit it, the mugpies have an admirable club ethos - all together against the rest and all equal .
Wouldnt couldnt ever support em but
Are you missing the punishment our Tiges used to give you? If so, you've gone to the right place for perpetual misery.
