All the glamour from the Tigers’ best and fairest

Tigers players and partners stepped out in their finery on Tuesday night for the club’s best and fairest awards at the Palladium at Crown.

The Jack Dyer Medal was won by Daniel Rioli who has requested a trade.

His partner, DJ Paris Lawrence, paid tribute to her other half.

“What a moment, you deserve this, you always give your all and carry yourself so admirably. I love you.”

The night was a chance for a number of the club’s players from their recent premiership era to say goodbye.

Dustin Martin arrived alone at the event and said he was “happily retired”.

Liam Baker, Jack Graham and Shai Bolton were also all at the event as they eye moves to new clubs next season.

Richmond president John O’Rourke handed some departing premiership stars a backhander in a not-so-subtle speech.
