Tiger Diary 12.4.2017


Richmond continue to remain undefeated…….

Thus spaketh the Tigerland website !
Sounds a bit like an enduring power of attorney, but that's just the way things work in The Year of Answers.
I like it ! 
And apropos more Answers, I do need to say within this predominantly Red and White forum that Daniel Rioli’s stunner of a goal on Saturday afternoon reminded me so much of Lewis Jetta’s long awaited first AFL goal for the Swans. May he have a wonderful career playing his own kind of Rioli Magic.

And may Todd Elton quickly recover from another humiliatingly awful game. 
In 2012 he played against Adelaide in a game we lost having led at quarter time by nearly 50 points. I think he managed one kick for the game. A couple of runs in low-stakes AFL games finally followed last year, then an excellent pre-season and VFL start to this season earned him the trip to Perth to face the Eagles. 
He had a game-low 3 kicks and looked like a rabbit in the headlights.
The crushing feeling of being again unable to repay your coach’s faith could seldom have been worse.
Thank goodness we won this time. 
Is “Sorry coach, I can’t.” your final Answer, Todd ?
Will the real Todd Elton PLEASE STAND UP !
