Being in America on a holiday i am logging onto every Wifi location available just to get some of the news about my beloved tigers. 3.30am this morning i logged in to find we had won...i was tearing up big time. I love this club and have mixed emotions as i want to be in two places at once. I will wear my tigers cap with pride everywhere i go this week... :gotigers

As you all know I have been pretty critical of our team for it's mediocre performances over the years and the soft mental attitude and pansy like desire at the footy.

Even throughout this year it's been hard to be convinced that we've turned a corner & changed.
After the Geelong game I finally realised that we are the real deal and seeing Cotchin flex his muscles and play so well has been awesome. I finally believe again.

Last night I was a nervous wreck because after so many years I see something different. It's all pressure and tough footy which we all know will help you win finals footy.
Last night I was hugging people I didn't even know but you could tell the ones that have been through the hard times too. Its been so long.

Im so excited now. It's unbelievable. I can't wait for Saturday.  :gotigers
The club that keeps giving.

It's an amazing vibe here in Melbourne. The city has come alive. Newspapers cover to cover Richmond, Richmond seconds on the tv leading in the VFL grand final, Dusty's Brownlow in about 24 hours and the expectation of grand final tickets!

Think like the Bulldogs last year but times 10!!!

I'm another young one that hasn't seen any success (don't even remember 2001). For me, I attribute my feelings to be like when I was 13 and had suffered numerous false dawns about finally getting a romp and wondering when and if it'll ever happen. Sure there were a few better attempts than others but that elusive first time just kept getting away from me. Then one day it feels like everything is just falling into place and bam, you've slid in. It's amazing, you've never felt something like this before. Everything is just so warm and the sensation is unreal. Sure you're a little nervous but you're in now and there is nothing but up from here. Now I just hope Richmond perform better than I did

I think I'm starting to come down. Had about 5 hours sleep, pumped up about getting GF tickets and stuff and now I'm just chilling on the couch I feel like a truck has hit me.

Have to say the VFL loss has certainly taken the wind out of my sails.

Think panic merchant ala Houli when under any physical pressure. Sure the kick had nice form but it had no real purpose or aim and perhaps I could have ran a bit further before offloading
