I know them all except the top left. 

That photo of an aging Mark Lee sums up that period to a tee. Very dark times at the RFC.

Top left is "what's his name" Laffy I think

Was it Michael Laffy

Wasn't Laffy on one of those reality programs? Very dark times. Pictures sum up the dark times.

[Tigers of Old]

5 wins for the year and another wooden spoon in the cupboard.
The following season the Save our Skins campaign was launched.
I honestly don't remember a worse time for the club in my lifetime, possibly ever.

[Tiger Tragic]

Laffy, McKellar, Lambert, Egan (who is that behind him?), Hogg, S Ryan(?), Wilson, Weightman, Lee, J Pickering (can't see the others).

Not sure why the players in the last pic are disappointed...what?  they expected to win??  I went into every game that year thinking anything less than a 10 goal defeat was virtually a win.

Was there that day. Carrara 1988 when Capper kicked a heap in his only half decent game for the BB

If I recall correctly we finished 1988 in fine style ....ended up winning 8 games . Beat Carlton for the first time in yonks. Beat Fitzroy by over 100 pts in the final game.

Started 1989 full of hope and dreams - then reality hit ..... We really were the worst team in the comp. The equalivant of what Melbourne is today .

Was at the Fitzroy game. Was peeing down. A night game IIRC. Guys were getting around saying we were contenders for the 89 flag after the game. Pumped! Massive off season. And then.....

Good to see Andy 'Cement Head' Goodwin gets a photo all to himself.

[Hellenic Tiger]

Photo number 4 with Phil Egan leading Jamie Turner to the ball is 1987.
About rd 16 at the G. We beat them by 5 or 6 goals.
Bond was our sponsor in 1987.
.05 became our sponsor in 1988.
