“Best & Fairest Tiger representing abroad”

Gilbo front 2nd from the left!

While most of us are still enjoying the off season and or just starting to get back into some preseason work, our very own Jordan Gilbert is currently touring Ireland as part of the Wanderers Australia AFL Team.

The current Alan Muir Medalist is enjoying the mixture of Gaelic Football and traditional Aussie Rules as they take on Ireland’s best.

The team are currently two from two with a solid wins over Lucan GAA and Limerick GAA. The team has had the tour of the famous Croke Park as part of the trip and are doing plenty of sightseeing as well.

To stay in touch with Jordan’s tour you can go to the Wanderers Australia Facebook page for more updates.

This is an outstanding result for the hardworking Tigers Coach who has had outstanding success since joining the Tigers.

We congratulate Chris on his appointment to the Pies and wish him all the very best. There is no doubt Chris will add plenty to the Pies program with his hard work ethic and outstanding knowledge of the game.

Our Tigers supporters will have plenty of reasons to watch the 2020 AFLW competition with so many Tigers in action.
