With a Lose, Bye, Lose streak I'm looking out for omens.
Reading about the Tiger Rag being played in Ondatje's "Coming Through Slaughter" the other night is a tough one to interpret positively?!!
Round 13 - unlucky for some?
Beat'em once already this season?
No other clues.
Despite the 9 goals apiece loss to the Swannnies last week (taking the term coming from behind into a whole new dimension), it was delightful to watch these Tigers in action.
Shane Edwards caught my eye.
Jack scorched - but twice wasn't nearly enough.
Houli is tough as nails and exciting with the ball.
Cotchin sure does the perpetual motion thing - I'd like to see Deledio link closer with him as
Dustin Martin has the Magic department well sorted at the moment- so long as the Royce Hart #4 jersey can keep him honest. I hope he never buys a pair of too flashy boots!
Ty Vickery has nearly got it through his head that he's made the big time.
Richmond has such a pattern over the last 30 years of promising stuff and not delivering - trying to depend on wonderful Richo for so long. This team just seems a bit different. There are several real potential match winners in the side. Rance, Connors, Foley, King, Nahas....and no rank passengers.
With a head-screwed-on coach and a respected captain they might just remember that they are not stars. they are just footballers who play to win. Never mind the omens.
But it is nice that despite Lions being King of the Animals, 'Tiger' backwards is Regit, Latin for 'He Rules'.
