2017 Grand Final: Richmond vs Adelaide @ the M.C.G., Sat. Sept. 30

Got home from the shops earlier and saw Fox had just started another replay. So that's already twice I've watched it since. Not getting old at all.

As you all know I have been away from this forum for the last year or so. In fact I haven't been on any forums at all, but I have been
an avid reader of OER. I thank you guys during that time because, I noticed from time to time people would ask if I was actually someone
on the forum, which I wasn't or if anyone knew what I was up to health wise, thanks especially to our esteemed doctor on here y&bb.

I suppose I'll get this out of the way, when I was here last I was struggling with kidney disease, last September, my kidneys reached the
point of no return and I started dialysis on September 10. Its been a pretty heavy ride but I'm still here and I'm glad I am as I got to see
another Richmond flag. Yesterday was simply brilliant. I suppose footy teaches us a lot, in many ways, during the last 12 months,
it was the tigers who kept me going during dialysis, 3 days a week, 5 hours a day with the needles, there's plenty of time to read and
see games on television or listen in on radio. I also lost my mum a few months ago, she passed away from kidney disease as well. So its
been a difficult time, but the Tigers winning has been a great joy.

I noted Claw seemed to struggle with us winning. All I can say is that people should enjoy winning, whether we like coaches, presidents,
or players or even if we don't like some aspects of the club, winning is more joyful, a happier existence. I am not going to return to forums a lot, if the likes of MT etc let me keep this account, I will post from time to time but not often, I have learnt to live without them to be honest, but they also provide some good interaction between people.

So to all you guys who stuck with us, who purchased memberships, who shouted your lungs out, who rattled the tins all those years ago
enjoy it now, congratulations to everyone, the footy club is in good hands, and its on its way. I can see Benny Gale announcing 100,000
members in about a year from now. Richmond is once again an Australian sporting powerhouse. Well done to all, and especially
those players who did our club proud yesterday and before and the coach and his assistants.

Cheers

Ramps, Enjoy this epic awakening of the Tiges.  Sorry to hear about your health, I hope you are getting looked after.  Dunno if you should read oppo sites either, too much saltiness, (or sweetness for us) isn't good for your kidneys either).

You're a bloody legend Ramps and we all love you. Savour the success the tiges have achieved as much as you can. I hope you're being cared for in the best possible manner. Sorry to hear about your mum. I lost my dad in the last 12 months and he was a huge tiger man. So much so that I was thinking he was manipulating things from above in way that made everything fall into place for the team. If you ever need anything just pm me.

When you look at it we won all our finals convincing that's what I'm suprised at,but we were the form team and playing for each other and doing the team things.

Replay is on again, lads.

[Andyy]

I've watched the replay 3 times haha.

Still quietly enjoying the salt from Crow supporters suggesting the umpiring was daylight robbery. Honestly it wasn't that bad at all lol. At least half of them can admit their whole team went to water!

[Francois Jackson]

what a great day yesterday was.

Thought we got the better deal from the umps, tbh.

what a great day yesterday was.

The whole atmosphere, everywhere. Swan St, before and after. Around the 'G, inside the 'G. Post game entertainment. It was all very well done.

[Chuck17]

Good to see you back Ramps

[JP Tiger]

Oh I'm so dreadfully sorry Adelaide!  We took something from you yesterday & I feel we should hand it back.  So here you go Adelaide players & supporters, this is for you ...

Now you know how it feels to have your arse handed to you in front of the whole football world!

just another franchise club in a town irrelevant to the world.
