The Tigers of old – for the vanquished
Football fans love a loser as much as they hate a winner. There has been a lot to love about Richmond for 35-years. They haven’t won a final since 2001. Their last premiership was decades ago. They haven’t beaten North Melbourne in a final since 1974.
And they’ve now lost three consecutive elimination finals. At least they’re consistent.
Do Tigers eat Kangaroos?
Several years ago I had patted an old tiger called Mohan at Dreamworld. Mohan was chained by the neck to a platform so he couldn’t kill me. A white Bengal tiger, he was huge. And he stunk worse than a wet, feral dog.
Me and Mohan, who never ate kangaroo...
Mohan was 15-years-old when I touched him. Two years later he died.
