What a star.

Just goes to prove that anyone who voted against him in the favourite player game isn't a true Tiger, in fact I would go so far as to say they are most likely fair weather supporters who are seen in good times and never in bad, probably don't buy memberships and buy their AFL gear from K Mart.

Where were all you effer's in the favorite player game when Lids needed you??? He also has the prestigious title of the first ever RFC player to wear a Head Cam.

Well done and yes he is a champion of the club. However I refused to vote for him in the favorite player thread for one simple reason.

He is not my favorite player.

Isnt that what the vote is about?

Well I wanted to vote for the BAKE or Tuck, but nooooo everyone wants to vote for the Justin Beiber pinup boys. I kid I kid, Lids will rip it apart with support in the midfield, he wont have every bastard hanging off of him because they have a couple to chose from now.  He will be contender for the coleman slotting em all all day running in from the midfield.
