Although Richmond suffered a heartbreaking loss to West Coast in Perth last Sunday night, and is clinging to eighth spot on the ladder, Yellow and Black icon Neil Balme is bullish about the team’s prospects after the bye, as he reveals on the latest episode of Talking Tigers.
“Balmey”, in his regular guest spot on the podcast phenomenon, also provides an expert insight into talented Tiger tall forward/ruck prospect Callum Coleman-Jones, as well as an update on the Club’s mid-season rookie draft selection Matthew Parker, while 1973 premiership teammate Rex Hunt is the subject of his popular “Get Back” segment.
On another bumper show this week, Talking Tigers names the full-forward in its best combined Richmond premiership team from 1967-2020 and takes a look at three nominations for the tall forward pocket position in the brilliant line-up.
And “Richo” tells which Richmond great “The Chief” is trying to emulate now.

2021 Episode 15: A bit flat, but still bullish

The exciting development of talented Tiger cub Maurice Rioli Jr is a hot topic of discussion on the latest episode of Richmond’s premier podcast Talking Tigers.

Richmond great Matthew Richardson outlines the impressive improvement in Rioli’s game this season, and tells why he has become such an important member of the Yellow and Black line-up.

Also on this week’s show, the TT panel highlight the individual player positives out of the Anzac Day Eve match against Melbourne, with particular attention paid to Jacob Hopper, Mykelti Lefau, Hugo Ralphsmith, Thomson Dow, Marlion Pickett, Nathan Broad, Tom Brown and Tylar Young.

The popular, new “Going Up the Country” segment spotlights a small Victorian town where the brother of an Australian Test cricketer was recruited from by Richmond.

In the “Spirit of ’74”, a young Mike Sheahan reports in The Age newspaper on the John Pitura saga hotting up, with South Melbourne going to extreme lengths to ensure its rebel star never pulls on a Richmond guernsey, despite the Tigers offering plenty of money and some players to the Swans in exchange for his services.

While in “Chief Watch”, ‘Richo’ reveals why ‘The Chief’ is filthy with a member of the TT team.
