JUBILANT Richmond fans have poured into Punt Road Oval as they continue to celebrate the success-starved club's first premiership in 37 long years.

Thousands of Tigers fans were lined up from the early hours of Sunday morning for the club's Family Day, with queues stretching down Punt Road and the adjoining Brunton Avenue.

To pass the time as they waited in line, some fans even broke into the club's famous theme song – complete with a raucous cry of 'Yellow and Black'.

Gates finally opened about 10.35am, with eager supporters roaring their approval as they were let into the ground.

Punt Road Oval was awash with a sea of yellow and black as people of all ages came to celebrate the team's premiership success.

There were grown men decked out in full Richmond kits, while kids as young as four or five were sporting 'Dusty cuts' in homage to Norm Smith medallist and Richmond superstar Dustin Martin.

A Swan St barber was offering free Martin stylings for those people brave enough to adopt the signature hairdo.

Richmond CEO Brendon Gale told AFL.com.au the premiership win meant so much to so many people.

"There's people of a certain age where watching their team playing in a Grand Final was a birthright, it just happened and it was a rite of passage," Gale said.

"Then there's the generation of people 40 and under who haven't experienced that. So for children and grandchildren and for people of those ages to experience that it's just wonderful. It's just wonderful."

Gale estimated there might be 20-30,000 people who would turn up throughout the day to catch a glimpse of their premiership heroes.

The Richmond premiership players were presented to their adoring fans in the early afternoon to a roar of approval.

However that has not stopped people from turning up early, as kids play kick-to-kick on the oval and others try to get their hands on any piece of premiership memorabilia – including the AFL Media-produced Premiers Magazine.

Diehard fans cheered and clapped every goal as the replay of Saturday's Grand Final was shown on four big screen televisions dotted around the oval, while special applause was reserved for players coming out on the main stage to partake in TV interviews.

Tigers fans Peter and Biljana and young children Natalie, 12, and Thomas, 8, were some of the fans in the crowd enjoying the day.

"It's crazy. Yesterday was crazy and today is exactly the same. It's a grouse feeling for us," Peter said.

"To share it with my kids is pretty special."

There was vision of Gale and president Peggy O'Neal with tears streaming down their faces halfway through the final term of Saturday's Grand Final as they came to the realisation of what they had achieved.

"I've played for the club and (former Tigers president) Gary March rang me a few years ago and gave me the opportunity to work here," Gale said.

"To be involved in a premiership – it just means so much to me.

"On an intellectual level to help get this club back up to where it needs to be, but also the heart and the passion of it all – it just means so much.

"It's what it means to other people; that's what moves you the most."
