The Legend’s Cup match day function was a free day for all members, including entry and seating. It began at the “G” with a “Legends” game featuring former players. After which they gathered in the Harrison Room to watch the AFL match, then back to Punt Road for drinks and finger food, compliments of RFP&OA and RFC.

At a selected MCG home game, members got together with their sons (and daughters too!), gathering at Punt Road for nibbles and drinks and a tour of the new facility ahead of watching the game in a reserved area. They also attended the player's dressing rooms.

Each year the Former Tigers headed off in a bus to Plillip Island for the Yabby Jeans Jug. Bowlers and golfers joined for lunch at the Golf Club then the bowlers shot off for their competition at the Bowls Club whilst the golfers lined up for their big challenge. The event pitted together the 3 teams Allan Jeans coached - Richmond, St Kilda and Hawthorn.

Departing from Hastings marina, the Former Tigers pit man against beast on Westernport Bay in the quest for the elusive "Big Red"! Held annually in November, one or two boats are chartered and leave the marina at 6 am fishing for whiting or snapper. The record catch for one boat is 115 snapper.
