if our squad dont get fired up enough to beat those carlton shitman after watching that then they can go stuff themselves.

One thing I noticed is all the blokes who played even someone like Stephen Mount come across as real characters and winners. Lots of leaders in there. Looking at our current squad we seem lacking in a few of these areas.

That was just fantastic, hope we create another chapter real soon.
Feel like pulling on a jumper and running out with the boys Sunday, could I get any more pumped?

Michael Roach my childhood hero. What a humble great of this footyclub. :thumbsup
My first RFC footy jumper had the number 8 on it.
Loved him as kid and is still a legend in my eyes. :gotigers

Whole poo!
Just watched that after a few Grey Gooses on a finals Friday night.
What a story!
Almost makes you feel a little emotional.
I'm now 40 years old and don't remember much about 1980 but I remember watching the video a lot but what I just watched gives me a different insight of that game and year.
So pumped for that feeling that playing super rules next year is an option. 
F:~k I hope we win on Sunday.
This club, our passionate supporters, the OER, the AFL,  myself and my baby girl need to see the Tigers up and about again.

Just finished watching it this morning. Pretty moving stuff. If that can't inspire our blokes to fire up tomorrow then nothing will.

Recorded it and just watched it.

Big wow. So much leadership/character. Don't think we have that at the moment.

Loved it.
Some really fantastic footage that I've never seen and seeing my childhood hero The Ghost really brings back great memories.
I can't wait til we are feared by all the other clubs, and to hear people say once more "Oh crap we got the Tigers this weekend".

I was there in 1980, and I only remember bits and pieces of the game. I most remember seeing Hungry and the Ghost in action but most of all the roar of the crowd with every goal kicked. We then sang the song like you wouldn't believe.

There will be more opportunities coming soon, and I plan to take my whole family there to see it all when we next win the big one.

Go Tigers, smash those blue baggers this weekend.

This is whats missing from our current list. Very few if any players with presence in the team.
