The Reunion of all Reunions – 1985 to 2005
The date has been set down as 27 August 2005 for what is expected
to be a huge gathering of past players who participated in the Tigers
Premiership Teams of 1985 (1st and Reserve Grade(s).
The occasion marks the 20th Year since those magnificent victories
– the first for the Club in 42 years.
Incredible – the Tigers have progressed into 16 of the past
twenty AFL Canberra Grand Finals in addition to a further 8 Reserve Grade
Grand Finals, 1 x Under 19, 1 x Under 21 and 2 x Under 18 Grand Finals.
The Reunion on 27 August will hopefully bring together players,
support staff and officials of an era in the Clubs History which will
be remembered as one of the enormously important events in the Tigers
now 81 Year old journey.
Who will forget the completion of the 1st Grade Grand Final, when thousands
of supporters invaded Football Park to celebrate one of our finest days?
Our 1st Grade team had completed the day, following in the footsteps of
our victorious Reserve Grade team.
The emotional scenes on the field, in the change rooms, and back at the
Club that evening and the wonderful feeling the next day when people of
all sports and various ACTAFL Clubs ventured into our Club to participate
in our festivities will never be forgotten.
