Richmond Football Club meets its date with destiny today, taking on the Adelaide Crows in the 2017 AFL Grand Final. The Crows go into the game as hot favorites, but the Tigers will be the sentimental pick. Either team will break a long premiership drought. And both teams would be worthy premiers. But Kangaeroo is going for the Tiges! Eat ’em Alive! Related posts: Tigers Trump Tenderfoots Stone the Crows! Deja Vu All Over Again Me and Robbie McGhie Tiger Time! Powered by YARPP.

Richmond Football Club will play in the 2017 Grand Final, tackling the favorite Adelaide Crows, who must be beaten at all cost. It’s the first time in 35 years that the Tigers will play off in Australian Football League’s most important game of the year. Richmond would lose that game after a stripper took off all her gear and streaked across the hallowed turf, her illegal actions much more appealing to the Tigers’ opponent Carlton, traditionally a favorite haunt of Australian organized crime, than a Richmond known for its hearty applications of elbow grease and welcoming acceptance of battlers from…

Kangaeroo.com is usually concerned about kangaroos, especially those in Japan, but now it’s Tiger Time! Richmond Football Club, the Tigers, are one of 18 teams competing in the Australian Football League. Football in Australia can mean many different sports, mainly depending on the location where the word is used, but the most Australian variation refers to Australian Rules Football, an indigenous sport with professionals found only in Australia (the game is played by amateurs in dozens of countries all over the world, including Japan). Richmond was once the most feared football team in Australia. From the late 1960s to the…

Strewth! It doesn’t get much worse than the latest KitKat concoction to hit Japanese stores, which arguably takes the title of world’s worst chocolate unofficially claimed by Australia when it produced Vegemite chocolate back in June 2015. KitKat Nodoame flavor is now selling at Japanese retail outlets and is the latest in a line of Japanese KitKat flavors that extends well beyond 200. It should be noted, that ＜i>nodoame is the Japanese word for throat lozenge, and that’s exactly what’s been dished up in the latest KitKat…a throat lozenge flavored-chocolate!!!! For what it’s worth, throat lozenge-flavored KitKat tastes exactly as…

Japan has a strange affinity when it comes to using Australian animals for its advertising. A number of major Japanese corporations use koalas and roos to plug their products and services. One with a difference is Hayashi Corporation, a construction company with a history of over 100 years and based in suburban Tokyo. Hayashi Corporation’s Fuchu branch office entrance is adorned with photos of a family of cartoon kangaroos decked out in soccer gear, just like Australia’s national football team, the Socceroos. Japan’s next opponent in World Cup qualifying is Australia, but there’s no connection. What is interesting to note,…

Ayer’s Rock Cafe is located in a distant corner of Machida, an outer suburb of Tokyo. Why the cafe located in such a distant tract of Tokyo derives its name from the now non-PC moniker of Uluru is something of a mystery, but it has been operating since 2000 and comes highly recommended by members of a nearby horse-riding club and large private school, so it must be getting something right. For Aussies, there’s nothing on the menu that really makes it worthwhile making the trek out to the cafe for a need to combat homesickness. The cafe does serve…

Australia beef is the most visibly successful Australian export to Japan, leaving considerable distance to its closest rivals, which these days are probably Tim Tams, Miranda Kerr and hordes of drunken ocker snow bunnies in country towns like Niseko and Hakuba. To be honest, Oz doesn’t really enter the consciousness of most Japanese, except for Aussie Beef, which is probably the first thing that comes to mind for many Nihonjin when asked about Oz. And this year, Meat & Livestock Australia Ltd (MLA) is going all-out to try and convert Japanese consumers to worshiping the barbie in much the same…

In this day and age, it would be unthinkable to use taxpayers’ hard-earned money to promote a campaign promising a 1 million yen order-made trip to Australia for a young bloke sending in photos of a sexy member of the opposite sex. But, when the shoe’s on the other foot, it seems to be all right. At least, it was until just a few years ago. For a while in the late Noughties to early 2010s, Tourism Australia worked desperately hard to arrest a drastic and dramatic decline in Japanese tourist numbers. Part of those efforts involved a campaign that…
