November 04, 2017Richmond Football Club’s ‘Tiger Army’ was out in force yesterday with the premiership cup on show in Shepparton’s Maude St Mall.
‘‘The club is pleased and proud that we can bring a slice of the premiership here,’’ club spokeswoman Georgina Cahill said.
‘‘To thank our members in Shepparton and the Goulburn Valley.’’
Fans had the chance to have a photo with the one-of-a-kind piece of silverware, with a ‘‘steady flow’’ lining up during the three-hour showing.
‘‘Not too many dressed up in outrageous outfits but we had a few wild characters,’’ Ms Cahill said.
Shepparton resident Corey Foster was in the mall to grab a coffee when he saw the line-up and the shiny cup.
‘‘I’ve supported them since I was four ... I love Dusty but the list goes on and on,’’ he said.
‘‘I had faith ahead of the grand final and I hadn’t cried like I did for a long time after the boys won it ... what’s not to love about them.’’
