With Ricky Ponting now the Roos number 1 ticket holder and even doing their membership ads, which high-profile people barrack or at least claim to barrack for the Tiges?
I was scanning the Herald-Sun yesterday on the web and noticed one Andrew Bolt :P, (far) right-wing columnist, suggest he was a Tigers supporter.
-
Before i roll off some well known ones, I've had a fight about this one before with Fish - and if someone can settle the argument would be good, because i'm still wondering about it lol.
Jennifer Byrne, i believe, is a Richmond supporter, and I always thought she was the grand daughter of former Victorian Governor Sir Rohan Delacombe. Fish says i'm wrong and says she's the grand daughter of Robert Menzies.
Anyone know?
Others:
Greg Norman
Tiger Woods
John Newcombe
Livinia Nixon (although she supported Melbourne there for a while)
Mick Malloy
Sir Rohan Delacombe ;)
Lindsay Thompson
Bernie Finn :rollin
Russell Crowe
Dawn Fraser I think was a member of Hafey's Ambush
Steve Price
-
Jennifer Bryne is the granddaughter of Sir Dallas Brooks and while i am on the subject another well known supporter is Kenneth Watts better known as Mopsy :cheers :thumbsup :gotigers

Thanks Mopsy, but until i see some hard facts, i'm going with Delacombe lol
When Fish and I were having this argument, i had to go to the emergency part of Monash Medical Centre, and lo and behold the doctor treating my dad at the time was Robert Menzies' grandson. I was so tempted to ask him, but i restrained myself lol.
Err, who is Kenneth Watts?
-
Isn't Simon Katich supposed to be a Tigers supporter?
Kath - from Kath & Kim
Kenneth Watts - I know who he is ;)
-
Seriously thinking i might have to eat HALF a humble pie lol
Sir Dallas Brooks is a former No. 1 ticket holder I've just researched, but still can't find a Byrne connection.
-
Kenneth Watts - I know who he is ;)

Oh by the way Kenneth Watts was the 'el admiral' of the Banana Republic Navy at one time! :lol
-

Damn you Mopsy Byrne. ;D
Delacombe, Brooks or Menzies? :-\ I always thought it was Bob. Ah well, she's definitely married to Andrew Denton (an attempt at diversion on the slim chance I'm wrong).

They said the bloke in the Richmond jumper was Billy Thorpe.

Hahahaha I was in the medallion club that day against the Dogs and he bummed a light of me that day when I was out on the verandah out the back in the Medallion Club at half time. Must have been after he bummed the smoke of you CUB.
Ran into him also on the way to the car going down the stairs. Was trying to crack a few gags but I was devastated on only drawing the game and was in no mood to respond or laugh. Still his leather jacket was almost 2 sizes too big for him. :lol :rollin :lol

from the Age
Geoff McClure
June 23, 2008
WAYNE Harmes is hardly your regular former league star given he now admits during his 169-game Carlton career he remained a Richmond supporter, that despite winning three premierships with the Blues "I was an employee of the Carlton Football Club and that's all".
Well, Harmes, has dropped another bombshell, revealing this time that because of the way the game is played these days — "no contests meaning very little excitement" — he hardly goes to AFL matches ...
Despite Harmes' dislike of what is happening to footy at the elite level he will keep a watchful eye on the MCG next Saturday when Carlton takes on Richmond.
Will he be barracking for the Tigers? "Of course," said Harmes. "Richmond is my team. In fact as a kid I despised the Blues. Funny how things turned out isn't it."

4. Like a Tiger - Robbie Williams
AND speaking of wildlife. Richmond fans may be thrilled to know that English boy-band-singer-made-good Robbie Williams appears such a fan of the Tigers he keeps one down his pants — just in case he's required to strip. Collingwood fans may be less enamoured to know that the reverse of Robbie's jocks were rumoured to feature a Magpie. Actually, the soccer-loving Williams sold his favourite underpants at a Charity Relief auction in 2001 and he's since shown a propensity to put his smalls on the line in all manner of sporting fields.
Say what you like about Robbie's singing, he is prepared to mix his interest in sport with good deeds in charity. Last September he organised SoccerAid at Wembley Stadium, attracting 45,000 to watch celebs in an England versus the Rest of the World battle. The locals won 4-3 with the proceeds going to the United Nations children's charity Unicef.
Williams also stumped up in 2006 to buy a majority stake in his League Two home soccer club Port Vale in Burslem, Stoke on Trent. And to bring that little touch of England to his new home in the US, Williams also established the Los Angeles "Vale" football club, a Super Metro League team in California. Perhaps, the AFL should be thinking smarter and getting Robbie involved in Western Sydney — or "boganville" as the out-in-the-cold Tasmanians have grumbled. Could we soon be seeing a pair of moccasins on Robbie's black underpants?

Mick Molloy a real Tiger for Richmond punishment
Colin Vickery | June 02, 2009
FORGET waterboarding and sleep deprivation. Comedian Mick Molloy reckons the ultimate torture is barracking for Richmond. Molloy is one of Richmond's highest-profile supporters.
He has followed the Tigers for 27 of his 42 years and says it has been a non-stop rollercoaster.
So far this year, the Tigers have endured the Ben Cousins saga, injury to spearhead Matthew Richardson and the on-again/off-again Terry Wallace soap opera, which has just ended with him stepping down.
The Tigers scored a much-needed win at the weekend but they're second bottom on the ladder with no chance of making the finals. Another season is down the drain.
"I was watching this documentary on Abu Ghraib the other day and they were trying to work out what constitutes torture and what is cruel and unusual punishment," Molloy says. "I was sitting there with my hand up going: 'I can tell you - it's supporting the Richmond Football Club'.
"I love them to death and I'll never stop supporting them, but they just find new ways to get to you. Once again our season is over."
Molloy, a panellist on Channel 10's football program Before the Game, says 2009 has been especially disappointing for Tigers fans because there were such high expectations this year.
"Some 90,000 people turned out for the Round 1 match against Carlton - a new dawn at Richmond, this is it - and four weeks later, I'm at Richmond v Melbourne and there's about 12,000 people there," he says.
The club's best finish under Wallace was ninth in 2006 and 2008. "We've got a mortgage on ninth," Molloy says.
"God love Richo (Matthew Richardson). If he hadn't been there for the last 12 or 13 years, it would have been very tough going to the footy as a Richmond fan."
Richmond's last premiership was in 1980. Does Molloy think he will see the Tigers win one any time soon?
"I'm a 42-year-old man and there's nothing much coming down the pipe. I don't know what to do about them."

Driven to online success: Carsales.com.au - Greg Roebuck
Peter Switzer | September 25, 2009
A BANK predictably playing hardball might have been the kick in the backside Greg Roebuck had to have. It certainly put him on the road to creating a car business that not only attracted some of the country's best-connected equity partners but created the opportunity for his business to reach many entrepreneurs' dream: a public listing.
Roebuck is a paid-up Richmond AFL supporter, which he says has been good for his inner strength. "It has been such a great character-building exercise that I'm considering making it a requirement for employment in the business," he says. "Clearly paid-up supporters are prepared to tough out difficult challenges."
Building a business is easier said than donebut at least Roebuck's time in the centre has resulted in a lot more goals than for his beloved Tigers.
His company is Carsales.com.au and it successfully listed on the stock exchange on September 10, which is a nice achievement for a guy who had to ditch his old business so he could get a bank loan to buy a house.

Yes these are the undisputable facts as presented by Tuckerbag QC. Without the Greeks and the other Wogs Richmond would have gone out of business years ago. Indeed we have built the greatest sporting institution the world has ever seen. The redisposition of the seed as enacted by Greeks and Italians in a systematic and passionate way throughout the finest and not so finest bedois of this fine city and other parts will guarantee Richmond its future for generations to come. Everyone should be thankful :lol

Any chance the club would target some of these high profile individuals and ask for a contra to the FTF?

it's ridiculous.
Is this from the same department that stuffed up all your merch orders for xmas?
-
What an absolute wank of an idea

It just completely lame. Patronising. Embarrassing.
The moron sitting in his ivory tower who came up with this one obviously thinks the clubs supporters are a pack of awestruck celeb underlings with nothing better to do with their meaningless, unimportant lives.
And I'm sure some of them are, but no need to play it up and make the rest of us look like bat-smokers.

That's what Eddie did to Miranda Kerr a few years back. I was good mates with her brother in high school and our dads were V8 buddies, and I know for a fact that as a Gunedah family they didn't have an Aussie Rules bone to speak of.

this is the worst idea I have ever heard of.
Firstly most ''celebs'' wouldnt be allowed to wear garments as they are ''contractually "' bound to there suppliers etc.
Now RFC Official, my wife works in the "high end "" of this market and has access to many A-Graders, . she shook her heard in disbelief when I asked her could she get ??????? to wear a jumper. ::) ::)
RFC, you are not doubt looking for the C-D grade celebs like Nick Bracks etc,
why waste your time . :banghead
I would be concentrating on getting supporters memeberships out on time and not using the ''indian mailhouses"" that you are contractually bound too.
P.S. I am sure there are a few on here who could get some A-Graders eg Brackets, but whats the point. :banghead
-
Stuff Celebs. The supporters are the real celebs that keep this club going.
RFC_Official, You know what would be a really cool photo opportunity. Choose a day and get every Richmond supporter possible out onto the ground of the MCG in their Yellow and Black with the entire Team & Staff roster standing at the front and take a photo from the stands.
I am certain that just about everyone who was there that day would buy a print for 20 bucks. Hell I'd even fly down from NSW just to be a part of it. :thumbsup
This is the direction that the club should be going. Getting the people involved who have been supporting this great club through thick and thin, not some fly by nighters who have been in a movie or had a one hit wonder.

Some of our supporters are more keen than others.
Some take/wear their Tiger gear all around the world...

While others on twitter (teenage girls) tweet our players a hundred times over just begging for a retweet and a "say hi to me Brett/Dusty/Jack" :wallywink

Nothing so much wrong with wearing the gear OS or some pimply teen tweeting the gun players. Relatively normal behaviour.
But for the club to get on the front foot with the celeb idea is bloody embarrassing. Normal adult behaviour isn't to hunt down or opportunistically ambush celebs.
I would say the majority of mentally balanced adults would find it unusual to even approach celebs and start a conversation in most situations, let alone do what the club is pushing.
Beyond a gday or a mutual chat at the pub, those that would don't have a life.

That's more like it. Now shutup idiot :police:

This is the same administration that got members to agree to give them more power recently. This is a crap marketing idea and its bloody disgraceful if thats the best they can do. Its a crap idea from a second rate administration IMHO.

As I have said on many occasions, please don't take it for granted that people working at footy clubs know what there doing.
Just have a look back at the opening of the social club last year, the word shambles comes to mind pretty quick.
How embarrassing is this latest request though, its laughable.
I know something, that's go down to the club and ask the players to sign some jumpers at random, we would get told something like , 'come back next Tuesday or something, LOL

It's a competition
either enter the comp or STFU

holy pooballs. Its called marketing, fellas.
Its an experimental idea that could potentially generate strong exposure for the Richmond brand and our sponsors for a relatively low cost. The marketing team are doing a solid job at the moment exploring different avenues and making the most of social media while adhering to a budget. Its a bussiness. You dont have to participate in this particular project if you think it is beneath you, but some people may actually have a bit of fun with this, lord forgive them.
I really cannot wait for the footy to start so you sooks can sook about something sookworthy.
And Jackstarr, how could you possibly tell anyone to 'get a life' when you take obvious pleasure from deriding the club you 'support' at every opportunity. Mate, if you were running the club we would be playing in the ammos and the pinnacle of our marketing innovations would be a bi-annual pie night.

Firstly most ''celebs'' wouldnt be allowed to wear garments as they are ''contractually "' bound to there suppliers etc.
Now RFC Official, my wife works in the "high end "" of this market and has access to many A-Graders, . she shook her heard in disbelief when I asked her could she get ??????? to wear a jumper. ::) ::)
RFC, you are not doubt looking for the C-D grade celebs like Nick Bracks etc,
why waste your time . :banghead
I would be concentrating on getting supporters memeberships out on time and not using the ''indian mailhouses"" that you are contractually bound too.
P.S. I am sure there are a few on here who could get some A-Graders eg Brackets, but whats the point. :banghead
knock it off jack you old fogey, contractually bound to wear clothing, my behindeeeeeeeeeee...not sure this campaign was confined to catwalk models you peanut :lol
You wouldnt have an idea.
Tell you they are contractually bound.
Its like the tigers were to lose the motorola deal 6 years ago when one Jay Schulz was caught using a Nokia, FACT !
Same as the A-Grade celebs, I was thinking the likes of Jennifer Hawkins etc.

Richmond has appointed Ken Grenda at its new No. 1 male ticket-holder.
Ken Grenda, founder of Grenda Corporation, is a passionate, life-long Tiger supporter.
The accolade has been given to Grenda following the passing of Richmond’s long-time No. 1 male ticket-holder, David Mandie, in 2011.
Mandie’s legacy lives on at Tigerland with his daughter, Evelyn Danos, the Club’s No. 1 female ticket-holder, since 2012.
Full article here: http://www.richmondfc.com.au/news/2013-04-03/tigers-announce-no-1-ticket-holders
More about Ken here in an article in the Australian early last year:
The man with the golden handshake
Kate Legge
The Australian
March 10, 2012
SILVER-haired Ken Grenda is being crushed by a love-in of burly bus drivers and mechanics, Aussie blokes with tattoos and buzz cuts and svelte Asian men, some of them misty-eyed, their phones held high over the throng to photograph this legend of a boss who teeters on the verge of crying himself.
They've feasted on a farewell dinner of roast turkey and beef in the cavernous Dandenong bus depot, and now they swamp the 79-year-old head of the Grenda Corporation with bear hugs and the fruits of their hidden talents. One employee with a hefty beer
gut has painted a fine portrait that captures his boss's twinkling eyes and gentle face creased into a smile. Another has baked a cake that's perfectly iced in wedding white and decorated with the company's red logo. There's even a handwritten poetic tribute to this rock star of a leader who won headlines worldwide when he sold his family business and splashed $15 million of the proceeds into the pockets of around 1750 employees.
He hadn't dreamed of creating a fuss. There was no announcement or press release - it would never have occurred to Grenda to milk such a gesture for personal glory. A worker blew the whistle after discovering that the mysterious bounce in his account was not a bank error but a thank-you from the boss. Paid on a sliding scale according to years of service, some staff were staggered to receive as much as $30,000 plus a superannuation bonus.
News of his largesse was deemed so unusual in the thick of company closures, redundancies and economic belt-tightening that it was picked up by the BBC, CNN, and newspapers in 61 nations. Grenda received emails of praise from people in Sweden, Tanzania, Belgium, Singapore, Mexico, Indonesia, Switzerland, Greece, Austria, the UK, the Czech Republic, Peru, Holland and Germany.
Grenda mechanic Neven Jelaca was contacted by his brothers in Croatia, who told him: "Six hundred people lost their lives this winter in Europe's freeze but the big news was Ken Grenda's bonus."
Indian-born driver Vernon Franklin got his mug on TV footage that ran overseas. "I got phone calls from Portugal, Canada, India, Malaysia and London telling me that I was a celebrity and I replied, 'Yes I am a celebrity bus driver working for the great Ken Grenda.'?"
Long before the news went viral, staff had lionised this man for the smaller, quieter courtesies he'd bestowed on them: for the handshakes, the "good mornings" as he came to work through the drivers' entrance instead of the corporate foyer, for his interest in their welfare, their personal stories. Grenda has always held his employees in high regard as "decent people trying to make a bob and look after their families".
The idea you are only as good as the people who toil by your side attracts lip service in many fancy corporate mission statements, but financial rewards rarely trickle down below the executive floor. There have been rare exceptions: billionaire mining boss Clive Palmer handed out $10 million worth of gifts to 800 staff at his Townsville nickel refinery in 2010; Melbourne businessman Roger Riordan dispensed half of the $US30 million raised from the 1999 sale of his anti-viral software business to 90 staff, and most of what was left bankrolls a foundation that has sponsored 200 students. But city lawyers and bankers who handled the Grenda company sale swear they've never encountered anyone quite like Ken Grenda inside Australia's boardrooms.

It’s been five years since Australian golfer Marc Leishman saw an AFL game live, but the lifelong Richmond fan experienced the next best thing yesterday.
Fresh from his opening round at the Australian Masters tournament in Melbourne, Leishman met Tigers’ spearhead Jack Riewoldt for a tour of the ME Bank Centre, and a friendly chipping contest on Punt Road Oval.
The 30-year-old third-ranked golfer in the country, behind Adam Scott and Jason Day, is based in the United States for the majority of the year, including the entire AFL season.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-02-18/new-base-a-boost-cameron
Joe was one of the people at the Federal Government who approved the building of the ME Bank Centre and has been a Tiger ever since. He has visited multiple times and has even spoken to the leadership group.
Err, the election was only in september last year, wasn't this all being built before then when Labour were in or am living in some sort of twilight zone?

Thought the same thing Owl, so I did some research ;D
Libs were in power when the first lot of Federal funding was approved but the bigger chunk for the Indigenious Learning Centre was given by ALP
Originally club got around $9mil in funding from Fed (Libs) & State (ALP) govts of the day, Melb City Council (pre Dobby Boyle)& AFL
Club then lobbied and got further funding that increased it to close to $20mil with the bulk of the increase coming from the Fed Govt of the day (ALP).

A famous old photo from the 70s ...

Australian cricket greats Rod Marsh and Dennis Lillee dressed in Richmond jumpers in 1977. Source: Herald Sun
5. LILLEE AND MARSH, RICHMOND
I’m looking at Rod Marsh in this 1977 photo and thinking he might be whispering to Dennis Lillee: “How much did Bondy say he’d pay us to wear these silly lace-up jumpers?’’ A newspaper report from the time reveals that the pair actually had a bit of kick to kick at Punt Rd Oval on the rest day of the Centenary Test, with Marsh due to resume the next day on 95 not out. When one journalist suggested the key pair were risking injury, Marsh growled back: “You could get hit by a car crossing the street.’’

Lleyton Hewitt joined the Richmond Tigers at training
by Sarah Olle
FOX SPORTS
LIKE football supporters, tigers can’t change their stripes.
Change allegiances and you’ll be deemed a traitor, a fool or a bandwagon jumper.
But the Richmond Tigers have proved to be very persuasive, with fanatical Adelaide supporter Lleyton Hewitt a special guest at the club’s training on Friday.
But fear not Crows fans, the Australian tennis great still bleeds red, yellow and blue.
Hewitt was merely invited to oversee the Tigers’ training program by his good friend — and former Port Adelaide coach — Mark Williams.

Khushbu has signed up to promote the Australian Footy League in India.
Both Khushbu and Usain Bolt are footy fans and have been granted honorary membership of the Richmond Tigers Footy Club which is part of the Australian Footy League (AFL)!
(http://www.thenewsminute.com/sites/default/files/Khushbu_Usain_Bolt_Collage_3x2.jpg)
Footy for the uninitiated is a mix of football and rugby and has its own rules of the game.
Speaking to The News Minute, Khushbu said, "Yes, the news is true. I will be promoting AFL in India. We will be spreading the message of how important sport is. Here, people are now interested in all kinds of sport. It's no longer only about cricket. Badminton, kabbadi, basketball, volleyball...all kinds of sport are attracting attention."
Khushbu notes that footy may not be entirely alien to India.
"If you watch the footy matches, you'll realise that it's a lot like the games people play in villages in India. It's got a lot of physical activity and competition," she says. "It's going to catch on in India and I'm happy to take it forward."
The AFL will involve Indian players, too.
Khushbu says, "That's the main reason why I want to be a part of this. We have a lot of talent that is not brought out. When we talk of sport, it's only been cricket for so long...we need to get people from the villages and other parts of the country to participate. There are many players in the country who have the capability to do well and we will be promoting them."
Khusbhu adds that the AFL will also invest in training players.
"I'm a sports freak. So when I went to Australia last October, there was a footy match going on - which was like the rugby we see in Europe. Everything in the place was closed - the schools, colleges, public offices - because it was a final," says Khushbu, recalling the passion that the local people had for the sport.
As a sports fan, she believed that this is a game that would catch the imagination of the Indian public, too.
Asked when the AFL will be introduced in India, Khushbu says, "I will be going to Australia in May and we'll have a discussion then."
Khushbu is the only Indian celebrity, as of now, who will be promoting the AFL in India.

Fanatical footy fans show their colours in race for finals
Ashley Argoon,
Sunday Herald Sun
20 August 2017
THEY are the faithful followers hoping for finals fulfilment. Some are already daring to dream of a premiership while others are just hoping to their side can clinch the last remaining spots in the top eight.
RICHARD ‘RICHO’ ALFORD, 47
RICHARD Alford is so Tigers obsessed he’s got the name to prove it.
“Richo,” he corrects when called Richard.
The super fan has the name, the tattoo, and $20,000 worth of Tigers merchandise in his Mt Evelyn home.
“Some is in the lounge room, some is in the hallway, some in the bedroom, some in the kitchen ... it’s strewn across the house,” the 47-year-old said.
It’s an obsession that began as a young fella, when he would run off while his parents went sailing.
“I would sneak into South Melbourne Football Club ... it just happened the Tiges were playing and it all happened from there,” he recalled.
“It was when Kevin Bartlett was playing and I fell in love with the club.
“I got mum to go to Kmart and buy me all the gear.”
A painter by trade, his wife has never allowed him to paint anything at their home yellow and black.
But all that might change if the Tiges took out the flag this year for the first time since 1980.
“(If they won) I’d probably disappear for a few weeks I reckon, just sit on Punt Rd oval, sit there absorbing the glory,” he said.
“I think it’s about time.”

JUSTIN Sedgmen hopes to carry some inspiration from Richmond’s historic AFL grand final win into the Speedway Grand Prix round at Etihad Stadium in Melbourne this month.
The avid Tigers fan, who was elevated from first reserve this week to the SGP starting line-up, has had the suit ready for more than a month to grace the Etihad track.
“The manufacturer in the UK did me up a suit because he knew I was a pretty mad Richmond supporter,” Sedgmen said.

A Victorian Greens politician enjoyed a free ticket to the AFL grand final just weeks after her party called for politicians to hand back freebies for the sake of ordinary fans who couldn't get a ticket.
Ellen Sandell, state MP for Melbourne, was given three tickets to two games in the AFL's 2017 finals series by Melbourne City Council, just days after one of her parliamentary colleagues said other MPs should not accept free tickets to the big game.
In the latest MPs' official declaration of interests, published by the Parliament on Thursday, Ms Sandell declared as gifts two tickets to the Tigers' qualifying final against Geelong and one ticket to the grand final, all supplied by Melbourne City Council.
Ms Sandell is a self-declared die-hard Richmond fan.

Is Trent Cotchin Ash Barty's lucky charm?
January 19, 2018
Sporting News
Ash Barty is through to the third round of the Australian Open, where she will play Japan's Naomi Osaka on Saturday.
On the back of some stellar recent form, the top ranked Australian woman came from a set down to beat Camilla Giorgi on Thursday night.
She also dropped the first set to Aryna Sabalenka in the first round on Tuesday, before bouncing back for a 6-7 6-4 6-4 win.
And for every match, Richmond Tigers captain Trent Cotchin and his wife Brooke have been in Barty's players' box.
Barty is a massive Tigers fan, and was active on social media throughout Richmond's drought-breaking Premiership run last year.
Asked earlier in the week about Cotchin's presence, Barty said it was a tradition at the Australian Open dating back at least four years.
After her win over Giorgi on Thursday, Barty said she didn't want Cotchin to go back to pre-season training.
"I don't know if I can let him go on camp," she said.
"He might have to stay here for next week as well.
"It's amazing to have the support from so many people including Cotch and Brooke.
"My whole team, everyone here in Australia it's amazing."

Young Richmond fan to live out AFL dream
By Angus Dearlove
Sunraysia Daily
15 Jun 2018
IMAGINE running out to thousands of screaming Richmond fans alongside Trent Cotchin and Dustin Martin.
Lifelong Tigers fan Cruz Reck will live that dream on Sunday when he runs out as the mascot for the Tigers in their clash against Geelong.
“I’m going to Melbourne to run out with Trent Cotchin through the banner,” an excited Cruz said this week.

One of the reasons we changed Yellows to the canary last year was Puma actually own the TM to that specific Yellow - which as mentioned is use by Dortmund. So its probably another team sponsored by Puma that wears Yellow and Black ;)

For three years, Barton Fink has been quietly building a loyal following around Thornbury, with a combination of cocktails, craft beers and live music served up in a relaxed and casual environment.
“We all have that Barton Fink feeling,” declares a bright blue neon inscription dominating the wall behind the bar. But what is the Barton Fink feeling, exactly?
“People are always asking us,” says manager Matt Hill. “It’s a talking point. You can interpret it however you want to interpret it.”
Among Hill’s best evenings at the bar was the night of the 2017 AFL Grand Final, when the Richmond Tigers defeated the Adelaide Crows.
“We’re not a sports bar, but it was an iconic sort of moment for everyone,” recalls Hill. “Our DJ was in the middle of a song, and he mixed in the Richmond Tigers theme song. The place just erupted. It was absolutely mental. Behind the bar, we’re flat out making drinks, and we had to take a step back and think, ‘Wow, this place is going off’.”

Cotchin reveals secret to Barty success
GILBERT GARDINER,
Herald Sun
20 Jan 2019
CRICKET and coffee, a spot of golf when the hectic schedule permits, and everything stops for her beloved Richmond Tigers.
Ashleigh Barty is everything that is good about the next generation of Australian sports stars — any code.
The laidback Queenslander will meet former world No.1 Maria Sharapova on Sunday at Melbourne Park, having perfected the balance between private and public life over the past 18 months, and in doing so rocketed up the rankings.
Barty’s demeanour in game mode couldn’t be further from her character off the court.
After making light work of emerging Greek player Maria Sakkari in the third round, Barty powered through post-game commitments in order to get back to the hotel in time to watch Australia’s one-day international against India at the MCG on Friday night.
Sharapova’s duel with defending champion Caroline Wozniacki mattered not for the proud indigenous star, who rose through the ranks in Queensland and landed on the circuit a cherub-faced 15 year-old.
“Just stick with the cricket,” Barty, 22, quipped after being asked if she planned to keep tabs on Sharapova’s progress.
Balance for Barty, whose love and passion for tennis waned before a one-year cameo playing women’s Big Bash with Brisbane Heat reignited the flame, has powered the 15th seed’s rankings climb.
Her relationship with golfer Garry Kissick led to lessons and regular rounds at Brisbane’s pristine Brookwater Golf & Country Club, while coffee — in the afternoon preferably — is life.
With regular coach Craig Tyzzer struck down by illness, Barty’s entourage at Melbourne Park this campaign has included stand-in coach and Fed Cup captain Alicia Molik and her childhood mentor Jim Joyce.
“Jim has been a massive part of my tennis throughout my whole career,” Barty said.
“He can read me like a book out on the court. He can predict what’s going to happen more times than not. He knows exactly what’s going on.”
The Richmond tragic, known to stream games live at odd hours from overseas, connected first with ex-Tigers high performance manager Matt Hornsby - to bolster her on-court fitness - before winning the 2011 Junior Wimbledon title.
It led to several Tigers including premiership captain Trent Cotchin taking an interest in tennis and her matches.
“She’s a very mature 22-year-old, super humble, and her family is a great group of people,” Cotchin, a semi-regular guest in Barty players’ box, said today.
“The thing that’s been noticeable from my point of view is that she’s just very focused on what she can control, and when you’re in a place like that it gives you a good opportunity to play well in games.
“I love it (Barty watching cricket over tennis), I think that’s the beauty of where Ash is at, she knows what works for her, she’s comfortable with knowing exactly that, coffee as well, we all love coffee.”
Brisbane Heat all-rounder Jessica Jonassen hailed Barty’s drive and commitment.
“She was always saying, when she was playing cricket, that she would want to play tennis again,” Jonassen said.
“She said that as soon as she would go back that she was confident that she could be in the top 20 by the end of two years and she’s proved that.
“That’s by no means arrogance, just simple hard work, drive and dedication.”

How China nearly ruined Barty’s Tiger dream
Jon Anderson,
Herald Sun
March 3, 2019
You know how AFL clubs love to dress up bemused celebrities in their club colours? Well, take it as written that Ash Barty isn’t one of them.
From ABBA and John McEnroe (Carlton), Mr Bean (Collingwood), Sofia Vergara (Sydney) and Condoleezza Rice (Adelaide), it’s long been a favourite pastime at clubland even if the people in question couldn’t be less interested.
And then there is passionate Richmond fan Barty, 22, who bleeds yellow and black for her beloved Tigers as she explained to Jon Anderson this week.
Jon Anderson: How does a Queenslander end up barracking for the Tigers?
Ash Barty: It started with Dad who supports West Tigers in the NRL, so it was natural to follow Richmond. The Tigers keep me sane when I’m overseas. I will be playing in the US when the AFL season begins but my coach is a Carlton supporter so we will have our customary bottle of red on the outcome.
Ash Barty and her new Richmond jumper are ready for the 2019 season.
JA: You should have an overflowing cellar by now.
AB: Exactly. I watch Richmond regardless of where I am in the world.
JA: Including the 2017 Grand Final?
AB: I was in the middle of China and because of internet security I couldn’t watch it live so I FaceTimed my mum and watched it that way. Mum kept trying to talk and I kept telling her to talk after the game. It was bloody good.
JA: And now you’ve got your own jumper?
AB: I have an array of Richmond guernseys at home. I have Cotch’s (Trent Cotchin) 2015 jumper hanging up and all the Dreamtime jumpers.
JA: Now Ash, can you do one thing for us and crack the top 10 in the rankings this year?
AB: Don’t worry, I’m absolutely desperate to do that.

Australian tennis star and raging Richmond fan Ash Barty has signed on as the Tigers’ first ever women’s football member ahead of the team’s inclusion in the AFLW next season.
The Tigers, who have already passed 85,000 members for this season, have launched the new Women’s Football Foundation Membership for those wanting to back the team’s new women’s side.
Those who join up will also get access to three AFL games at the MCG this year, and every dollar of profit made from the sale of Richmond AFLW memberships will be poured back in the women’s football program at the club.
“Our members and supporters have given our men’s football program great passion and loyalty over our long history, so it’s exciting that we can offer new opportunities for them, as well as engage new fans to support our women’s football program,” Tigers CEO Brendon Gale said.
Richmond will enter the AFLW next season along with Gold Coast, West Coast and St Kilda.

Absolute champion. I always regard the French as the hardest and most prestigious one to win for the completely biased reason that my horrible tennis skills are even worse on clay. Give her the order of Australia ASAP because she has done something truly incredible. I hope that trophy makes a tour to tiger land to inspire the lads

West Perth champ Bill Dempsey has been a Tigers supporter all his life.
A legend of WA and Territory football.
Heard a great interview with him on local ABC radio earlier this week. Amazing story. He says he respects all players and doesn't have favourites, but rates Riewoldt as the most exciting player to watch.
Apparently there is a book coming out about his life. Based on the interview, if you get the chance to read it, do so.

Moment Waleed was filled with hatred
Andrew McMurtry
News.com.au
23 July 2019
Love him or hate him, The Project host Waleed Aly is without doubt one of the biggest and most high profile AFL fans out there.
The Richmond diehard has been a passionate Tigers supporter from the years of desperation to the glory of the 2017 flag. Aly’s support has been unwavering as a fan and even a mascot.
In an interview on FOX FOOTY’S Bob, set to air at 8.30pm on Tuesday night, Aly spoke about his fandom and the freak coincidence that linked himself and the show’s host, former Western Bulldogs skipper Robert Murphy.
Aly has been a faithful Richmond follower ever since his older brother introduced him to the club as a boy, and Murphy also admitted he was “a mad Richmond fan” as a child, even doing work experience with the club.
As the pair discussed their love of footy, the 317-game Western Bulldogs legend remembered his fourth game in the AFL back in 2001.
“(Dogs legend) Tony Liberatore smashes Matthew Knights’ nose all over his face so there’s this massive brawl,” Murphy said as Aly’s interest piques. “And this intense rivalry begins between the Tigers and the Bulldogs.”
In a stunning coincidence, Aly revealed: “I was the Richmond mascot on that day.”
Murphy couldn’t hide his shock, saying: “No, no you weren’t.”
Aly, who was the back-up mascot at the time, was called up to the big leagues for the memorable match.
“I saw Woofer (the Western Bulldogs mascot) beckoning me, just through the mouth of the head,” Aly said. “That was the scariest Woofer I’ve ever seen. So I ended up wrestling him at the MCG in front of 40,000 people.
“I reach to flip him or something and the crowd roars, I don’t know why. I stand up and put my head back on straight and I look through the mouth and I’ve ripped his head off. I’ve just ruined these kids.”
In the return match, the crowd was heated again. It led to a surprising and out-of-character admission from Aly.
“I remember what it was like in the stands and I remember it’s the only time I’ve ever felt something approximating hatred for the supporters on the other team,” he said.
“It was something about the way they went at Knights. Going at Liba, I get that, but what did Knights do? It’s the only time I’ve ever cheered really loudly at someone because I’m not that kind of supporter at all but I obviously just got provoked to that point. I didn’t swear or anything.”
Murphy couldn’t help but tease Aly for his tepid show of aggression.
After countless scandals about poor crowd behaviour which have rocked the AFL in recent times, as well as overbearing tactics from stadium officials which have drawn the ire of fans, Aly said life in the stands has changed a lot since he was a boy.
“Yelling out was a performance, not an expulsion,” Aly said.
Murphy added: “It was like amateur theatre.”
“And there were some really good amateur thespians,” Aly joked.
“But I don’t know. Is it just that we’re older and we can actually hear the darkness that we weren’t keyed into before? Is it that the stuff that was yelled out was never really that funny but because we were kids we thought it was? Or is it genuinely a function of our ticketing arrangements?
“Can you ever sit amongst the reserve seat members of any club and walk out of a stadium not thinking you were screwed by the umpires? I doubt it.
“When we were kids and we went to the footy, around you would be some of those people who are now in those reserve seats, and some of the people who were just tourists for the day, and some of those people for whom footy was exciting but only while it was happening and then they’d move on beyond that.
“So there were people who were able to have fun with it right next to the people who were adding the intensity. I reckon out of that mix came humour, whereas now I think that’s harder because you’re either sitting with people who don’t care that much or those who care way too much.”
Waleed Aly will be the guest on FOX FOOTY’s Bob on Foxtel channel 504 at 8.30pm on Tuesday July 23.

I vaguely recall the incident of the mascots fighting as well, although I was just a kid.

Apart from losing to them by 110+ in r1 2006, it was the angriest I’ve been at a Bulldogs game. Dumbarse Dogs fan completely missed the unprovoked cheap shot of Libba on Knights and the aftermath was why they were booing Knighter.

Ben Simmons barracks for Essendon but he was down at Punt Rd yesterday.

Here's Ben Simmons Roosting A Drop Punt Straight Through The Hi-Diddle From 50
By Cam Tyeson
pedestrian.tv
7 August 2019
You tend to forget that, having grown up in Melbourne, Ben Simmons was actually a pretty handy footballer in his younger days and actually had to choose between seriously pursuing footy or basketball. Despite (quite smartly) choosing the path to the NBA, the footy skills apparently haven’t left Simmons, who put them on display yesterday during a casual muck around at the Richmond Football Club.
Simmons swung by the iconic Punt Rd training ground of the Tigers to hang out with Richmond AFLW gun recruit Sabrina Frederick yesterday (despite being a devout, lifelong Essendon fan thank you very much), where he not only added another photo to the ever-growing wall of “international sports star interacts with insane local game,” but he showed off an entirely decent right leg by drilling a textbook drop punt straight through the big sticks from just outside 50.
You’re always welcome at Tigerland, @BenSimmons25 ????
Watch here: https://twitter.com/Richmond_FC/status/1158642907475111937
— Richmond FC ???? (@Richmond_FC) August 6, 2019
That ball hold is anything but textbook, but you can’t fault the form otherwise. Good ball drop. Solid follow-through. Hung it out on the breeze top of the right goal post and rode it all the way home. There’s key forwards with 150 games under their belts who don’t strike the ball that cleanly.
And if all that weren’t enough, Simmons calmly slotted another one from the 50 arc, only this time hard up against the boundary line.

Dustin Martin lookalike spotted among crowd at Norlane fire
Geelong Advertiser
January 19, 2020 8:04pm
Spectators of a suburban house fire on Saturday were double taking when a surprise Dustin Martin doppelganger appeared.
The man emerged complete with neck tattoos, a Richmond Tigers guernsey, and a haircut similar to the dual Norm Smith medallist’s distinctive ‘do.
He was among the crowd congregated watching on from Rose Ave, Norlane as a home on the street smouldered.
And while he may not be part of the reigning Premiership team, the lookalike appears to be well-known in Aussie rap circles.
The man is believed a rapper who goes by the name of ‘Merks’ and is believed to be part of underground rap crew ‘Trap Runnerz’.
Merks’ professional Facebook page has garnered more than 17,700 likes.

ABC presenter Gavin McGrath, who is also a passionate Richmond AFL supporter and former sports reporter for The Courier, has been following the Chiefs for about 25 years. This was sparked by what he said was a "cultural exchange" with a American he met in a social media platform talking military history. Talk with Mooster Yates quickly turned to football.
Moose lives in Independence, Missouri, north of Kansas City. He proudly wears a Richmond jumper, hat and holds a Tigers' coffee mug. He sent Mr McGrath "Chiefs merch" including a jersey emblazoned with Mr McGrath's initial social media handle, Tiger Tank 17.

Barty was spotted in the Gabba stands as her beloved Tigers took on the Brisbane Lions in a qualifying final.
First found by the cameras looking glum after the Lions took a strangehold on the match, it didn’t take long for Barty to brighten up after a Tigers goal.
Footy fans soaked up the the Queenslander’s love of the game, complete with fist pump and beer in hand.

I’ve been to the footy in Brisbane many times over the years and not just Richmond games.
What I’ve noticed more than anything is the amount of people not actually watching the game.
For example, The last time I was up there, there was two woman and a bloke talking about life the whole game and every now and then you’d hear them ask each other, “did we kick that or was it the other mob?” and then back to the convo.
I’m not sure why they were there to be honest. But that was normal according to my ex victorian mate I was at the game with.
By the look of the picture above it looks as though Ash is the only one interested in the actual game.

Brilliant truth behind Ash Barty's beer-drinking footy visit
Sam Goodwin
Sports Editor
Yahoo Sport Australia
6 October 2020
While her opponents were slogging it out at the cold and miserable French Open on Saturday, Ash Barty was enjoying a beer (or two) at the footy on a warm Brisbane night.
If that doesn’t sum up 2020 for you, what does?
Barty opted not to travel to Roland Garros or the preceding US Open this year, despite being the defending champion in Paris.
The Australian champion hasn’t played a competitive match since February, yet none of her nearest rivals have managed to take the World No.1 ranking from her.
With Simona Halep’s shock loss in the fourth round at the French Open on Sunday, Barty is guaranteed to finish the year as World No.1.
The loss ended Halep's career-best winning streak of 17 consecutive matches, guaranteeing that Barty - who chose to skip the US and French Opens due to concerns about coronavirus and her preparation - will finish the year atop the world rankings.
And in doing so, Barty has made some incredible Australian tennis history.
The 24-year-old will become the first Australian woman to finish as World No.1 in back-to-back years, and the first Aussie since Lleyton Hewitt in 2002.
Not bad for someone who hasn’t played in eight months.
Barty sent fans into a frenzy on Saturday night when she was spotted at the Gabba cheering on her beloved Richmond Tigers against Brisbane.
With beer in hand, Barty could be seen revving up the Tigers as they fought to come back against the Lions.
“Imagine if you’d been told in January that Ash Barty would watch an AFL final in person while the French Open - of which she is defending champion - was going on simultaneously,” Fox Sports’ Daniel Cherny tweeted.
Others described Barty as “our true queen” and an “Australian icon”.

HOW CRICKET STAR DE VILLIERS BECAME DUSTY’S NEWEST FAN
By Andrew Slevison
SEN
21 December 2020
Richmond’s Dustin Martin has yet another new fan, Simon Katich has explained.
While coaching Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League in Dubai between September and November, Katich was able to watch his beloved Tigers in the AFL Grand Final in late October.
Katich explained how South African star AB De Villiers took an immediate liking to Martin while watching him in action as the Tigers defeated Geelong to claim their third premiership in four years.
“Dusty’s got a new fan,” he said on SEN Test Cricket.
“AB De Villiers wanted to be named Dusty De Villiers after seeing him play for the first time.
“His first ever game of AFL he watched and he was very, very impressed.”
The former Aussie batsman was also pleased to witness the reaction of Aaron Finch, who is a staunch Cats fan.
“What a great day that was,” Katich added.
“The best part of it was watching it in Dubai in our team room and seeing Aaron Finch, who is a mad Geelong supporter, throwing bottles of water at the TV in the third term when Richmond were coming home strong.
“He wasn’t happy, Finchy. So I got a bit of humour out of that.”
Katich also suggested to Anthony Hudson, another Cats supporter, that perhaps we could see some more Richmond premierships in the coming years.
Asked if he fit the stereotype of an arrogant Tigers supporter, Katich said: “Not at all mate!"
“Three out of the last four years, and more to come while Dusty is playing the way he is.
“We got time to keep going on that, being a Geelong man Huddo?
“Dusty’s 29, still got his best days in front of him. A couple of the other boys are starting to climb up the ranks as well.
“Shai Bolton, Tom Lynch, the list goes on and on...”
De Villiers was lucky enough to witness Martin kick four goals and collect 21 disposals in the Grand Final as he claimed his third Norm Smith Medal.

“I thought it was our deal, we’re going to AFLW. It’s ABCD, we come as a package and I know we will be going to the Tiges that is for sure,” Barty joked.
“Will we be?” Dellacqua replied.
“Yeah. You can’t go to Carlton. You have to come to the Tiges with me,” Barty said.
Dellacqua said: “I need to get out there and start practising some kicking but you are good. I would love to do that one day.”

Then you should also know she's pretty much done stuff all in Grand Slams apart from that one win... :shh :shh :shh

She’s also only 24 and world no.1, settle down.
-
Osaka's 23, has two slams and was #1 at 21 - what's your point?
You think 24 is young to be #1 and winning slams in women's tennis? LMAO - where have you been the last 35 years? :shh
-
Osaka’s won 3 mr tennis expert. And I didn’t bring up her age to validate it being an achievement that she’s won a slam at 24 I was saying that she has plenty of time to win more.
Where have you been the last 10 years? Other than Serena Williams the most slams won during that period is 3 by Osaka and kerber and then you’ve got a handful of ladies who have won 2. The woman’s game is not the same as it was in the late 90s and early 2000s. Again other than Serena there arnt any dominant players and each year throws up 2 or 3 new winners.
-
I fear Ash wont win another slam. Seems to throw away chances at big moments.

Matt Temple is another Aussie Olympic swimmer (100m butterfly) who is a Tigers supporter.
-----------------------------------------
Although there are exciting times ahead for Temple, one thing that won’t change is his love for his Richmond Tigers, assuring himself that he will get as many updates as possible when he’s swimming away from home.
“During the champs, it was pretty hard to watch any footy, all I could do was really check the score here and there,” Temple said.
“But I’ll make sure I’ve got a good connection to watch the Tigers from back home whenever I’m away during footy season.”

First female animator worked on Beatles’ Yellow Submarine
ANNE COMRIE JOLLIFFE: 1933 – 2021
Anne Jolliffe, who was the first Australian woman to become a professional animator in the days when the animation industry was male-dominated, died in Leura, NSW, on August 27. She was 87.
Anne was a pioneer in the Australian animation industry, who helped to win an Academy Award for animation.
When Anne was three, during the Great Depression, the family moved to Victoria. They settled in Elwood, where Anne’s parents took on a milk bar in the beach suburb. At the age of nine, her father – who had been the treasurer for the Longford Tigers – took her to her first Aussie Rules game. She was devoted to the Richmond Tigers for ever.

Cath Durkin from Foxsports:
"I’m gonna take a moment. I feel like I haven’t done this kid justice. When I was the kid in this photo, even then, I wanted to be a sports journalist. The last month, I’ve done three live crosses from the MCG. Tell this girl in the photo - “we did it”. She wouldn’t believe it."

In today’s HUN there’s an article on Paul Hogan and his new book in which he says he follows Richmond and there’s a pic of him wearing the Strong & Bold scarf with Richo holding an RFC guernsey with Hoges and the number 12

Not famous but one very lucky Tiger supporter.
Tigers fan’s quadruple bypass horror after AFL clash
A mad Richmond fan is lucky to be alive after he suffered a heart attack at the MCG when the Tigers took on the Blues in the AFL season opener.

Tigers legend Neil Balme has paid a special visit to one of Richmond's oldest fans - 98-year-old sister Joan Toole.
https://twitter.com/7NewsMelbourne/status/1646041919204757504
She has seen 11 of our flags :thumbsup.
-
Love hearing stories like this . Glad Balmy recognises this .
Just out of interest has anyone else sensed there’s less elderly from all clubs attending games these past few years , probably since the pandemic started
-
At a guess, I would suggest they would be more likely to prefer the walk up start and not the pressure to book a seat , and may not know it’s reverted back

Cheer squad truths: Tiger fan who wears 22 jumpers on gameday
If you thought you were a die-hard supporter of your club, read this and think again. This Richmond superfan takes it to a new level. See the stories behind your clubs most passionate fans.
Bruce Korun is keeping an eye out to see when Maurice Rioli enters the game.
Rioli is the Tigers’ substitute and Korun has his No. 10 guernsey in his bag.
The jumpers of 21 members of Richmond’s starting 22 are on Korun himself.
“I left (Ben) Miller home – I forgot him,” Korun says.
“I’m a bit upset about that.”
Korun started donning four guernseys at games in 2007, taking one off each quarter.
Since 2017, he has been wearing the jumper of every selected player, removing one every time the Tigers kick a goal.
“He’d come looking like the Michelin man,” cheer squad treasurer Mandy Woodward says.
“When we kick a goal in Melbourne, people will say ‘Bruce, take it off, take it off’.”
The guernseys are not worn in any particular order.
“People up in the grandstand all have bets who’s going to come off next,” says Korun, who estimates he owns 100 jumpers.
Richmond is trailing by 21 points at half-time and Korun has removed three guernseys.
He remains very optimistic.
Seeing a swag of premierships will do that.
Korun has been barracking for the Tigers since the age of 11, having fallen in love with the colours and emblem.
The 1982 flag was the first he saw live but 2017 the most special.
Korun thinks Richmond will claim this year’s premiership, despite its poor form.
After some goals, he gets up and turns to the crowd to yell “To September again”.
“Bruce, no more September, we’re not going to get there this year,” Woodward says.
When Marlion Pickett kicks truly on the run, Korun stands again and off comes Hugo Ralphsmith’s guernsey, revealing Jacob Hopper’s underneath.
Korun hardly sits in his seat, but soon is scrambling under it.
Rioli has replaced premiership captain Trent Cotchin, so Korun reaches opens his bag and grabs the second generation Tiger’s guernsey to put it on.
Later in the term, a Liam Baker major brings the Tigers to within two goals – and prompts an excited Korun to remove two jumpers at once.
Doing so appears to be bad luck.
Tom Papley answers for Sydney 90 seconds later.

AFL website reporter Sarah Black is a Tiger supporter.
-------------------
Briefly touched on it, but it was the wrong piece to do a deep dive, but I’m completely fascinated by the supporter-base rivalry between the two.
I barrack for Richmond. The other half of my family are Geelong. I have a huge soft spot for them, and just don’t get the animosity!

For me the extreme dislike of Geesook comes from:
1. Duckwood and Dangerflop being flogs
2. Porkins pushing Balta and doing Soldo's knee
3. Wankley and Jabba the Hutch leading the anti-richmond push in the media
4. Chris Scot's salty criticism of us every time we beat them; and
5. The massive advantage they get playing at their shitebox stadium 12 times a year
But the biggest reason is that Steve Hocking changed the rules to bring us down knowing full well he was going back to Methlong to take over as CEO. Cheating prick that he is!

Michael Aish, who was inducted into the AFL Hall of Fame tonight, said he loved the Tigers. Rolled off virtually our whole 1980 premiership team. He actually signed with us at one stage but in the end he didn't leave Norwood to come over to play in Victoria.

From Rhett Bartlett:
Michael Aish signed a Form Four with @Richmond_FC as early as 1979, and the club kept trying to get him across for a good six years.
I think we're still trying.

He would've got it from his mate Ross Knight of the Cosmic Psychos who's a mad Richmond supporter. :shh

So glad former "first man" Tim Mathieson tried to get that awful mysogynist Tony Abbott barred from entering the Richmond rooms - after all they should really only be for fine upstanding men of impeccable character and respecters of women such as himself... :shh

We've got a special guest in the rooms today.
Ian Wright, who played mainly for Crystal Palace and Arsenal back in the 80s & 90s.

Oscar Piastri Makes His Love for AFL Team Richmond Tigers Public – “Was 6 Years Old”
Naman Gopal Srivastava

A lot of F1 drivers choose to follow other sports, away from the world of racing. Many engage in golf while some settle for soccer. But for Oscar Piastri, it is Australian Rules Football. The McLaren driver recently revealed he has been a lifelong fan of the Richmond Tigers and continues to follow them despite his hectic F1 schedule.
The Richmond Tigers compete in the Australian Football League (AFL). Paying homage to his favorite team, Piastri even showed up to Albert Park wearing the Tigers’ jersey two weeks ago, ahead of the Australian GP. In an interview with 10 News First, the Melbourne-born driver said,
“I can’t remember how old I was when I chose Richmond as my team. I think like, 5 or 6, but lifelong Richmond fan.”
The tigers were founded all the way back in 1885 and won two titles in the older version of the championship that lasted till 1907. Since 1908, in the AFL, they have won the premiership 13 times. Their most recent title win came in 2020, after victory against the Geelong Football Club.
Piastri added that his favorite team is currently undergoing a rebuilding phase, which is why they are underperforming in the league. They are currently in 13th out of 18 teams in the championship. Still, Piastri hasn’t stopped following them and continues to pray for their resurgence.
Despite the demanding schedule of F1, Piastri finds a way to keep up to date with the happenings of other sports. When overseas, the difference in the time zones often makes it difficult for Piastri to watch the Tigers’ matches. However, that doesn’t mean the 22-year-old isn’t aware of what’s going on. He keeps an eye on the scores and sometimes even catches highlights of games in his spare time.
