How welcome the product that is AFL! After a summer where cricket lost its way (again) it was thrilling to see the mighty Tigers in their NAB Cup turnout. And what a result. All the Saints fans will be cracking the champers, talking of dynasties, preparing for Friday night triumphs and betting big all year. You supporters of other franchises (remember Bob Dylan is "not a commercial artist") have the Tigers to thank for the stubbies you will win in bets with hapless romantics that follow the Moorabin fantasia franchise.
Having followed my franchise for 40 years I found a number of moral victories last night:
- we had the better guernsey - seriously its time to dump the tricolour boys;
- we took mark of the year (at this point);
- we had the better song;
- we have more room for improvement;
- we didnt draft Nellie Gehrig;
- we ran onto the ground first;
- 40 points is a lot better than 157; and
- It's February.
Looking further back (but only to last year):
- we beat Sheedy and Hird in their farewell to the MCG; and
- We beat Collingwood.
And just one more point:
- 10 premierships (five during my lifetime) beats 1!
Great to watch!

Go you sainters!
Tremendous news coach! As a longtime closet Tigers supporter I'm feeling the urge to "out" myself.
