As the old saying goes "Oh well there is always next year" this is a phrase I have been uttering as a Richmond Tigers supporter for a long time. Born in ’79 I have only been alive for one of Richmond’s premiership and of course I don’t remember sitting in front of the TV to watch Tony Jewell and his crew lift the cup.
The addition of Ben Cousins to the playing roster for the 2009 season has created a new hope for all Richmond members and supports alike.
I guess I am one of the many Tiger faithful who fell in love with the idea of getting a player with the skill of Cousins, basically for free as we did not have to trade any players to pick him up. But as if Ben Cousins did not have enough pressure on him to stay clean and out of trouble he now carries the hopes and dreams of Richmond supporters everywhere. I am a huge fan of Richo and Brown just to name a few but it is Cousins who the fans are all looking towards to carry us up the premiership ladder.
As I look towards the 2009 season I sit here and pray (even tho I am not even in the slightest bit religious) for a successful season, not just for me but for suffering Tigers supporters everywhere.
I am going to Blog my way through the 2009 AFL season, from my point of view, which is simply an average guy who wants to see his football team succeed.
