Title: 'No club has lit up September the way Richmond did': Caro (Age)
Post by: one-eyed on December 08, 2017, 07:31:42 PM

From Caro's farewell article in the Age:

And what a story the Tigers delivered in 2017. McLachlan joked at the start of the finals that he would take a one-year holiday in 2018 if Richmond won the flag. But there was a touch of the America's Cup and Bob Hawke around Swan Street on the last Saturday night of the football season.

After the fact, the AFL chief described it as the most unlikely premiership in his memory. He was not being derogatory. Personally and I hope without bias I have not seen a club in those 19 years in this role light up a September the way Richmond did. Nor a player dominate a season like Dustin Martin.

Was the best flag ever Caro. Still hugging random stranger tiger fans Caro. Doesn't get better.
