Heavy downpour didn’t deter die-hard Richmond supporters from turning out for a group photo in support of their beloved team.
Tiger tragics from across Cardinia Shire clad in yellow and black gathered at Bourke Park on 15 September to celebrate the prospect Richmond may take home the trophy for the first time in almost 40 years.
Despite the wild weather, there was a buzz in the air as supporters told of their excitement of the upcoming finals.
One fanatic said she “didn’t know how she would cope” if her beloved Tigers took home the premiership.
‘I just can’t believe it (that they’ve made it this far) … it’s just too much,” she said.
