A boy who loves the TIgers but really struggles to explain why.

Where born? Hobart
Age: 12
Where do you live: Hobart
How did you come to barrack for Richmond: My dad goes for Richmond and so I followed him.
Favourite all-time player? Kevin Bartlett
Favourite current player? Hard to choose. Probably either Brandon Ellis or Daniel Jackson.
What do you most like about Richmond? What I most like about Richmond is the colours. [This took a lot of prompting – he is groping for positives right now like all of us]
Do you have a match-day superstition? Not really. Although I think that if we are playing Carlton and we are ahead at half time, we will lose.
Best experience at a game? Hard, because I have only been to 3 games and we lost all of them, probably a 30 point loss against Adelaide. We were losing from the very beginning and so it wasn’t that disappointing when we lost.
Worst experience at a game? A 2 point loss against Essendon. In this game we were ahead for all of the game, until 5 minutes from the end. Essendon scored, and then Richo kicked a couple of behinds. I was in tears. [The famous Mal Michael ‘hands-in-the-back’ game. Lloyd kicked one after the bell to make it 8]
When will we next win a premiership? 2022

    ‘A boy who loves the TIgers but really struggles to explain why.’

    …who will hopefully grow up to be the man who says, ‘Yes, I was there for the three-peat of 2021,22,23 and also the undefeated premiership years of 2029 and 2031’

    Goodonya Marcus.

      Really impressive how a lot of the robots from 2029 overcame technical trouble and obsolescence issues to back up again in 2031.
