Talking Tigers: Episode 449

The penultimate weekly episode of Talking Tigers for the year pays tribute to Richmond’s on-field leaders Toby Nankervis, Tim Taranto and Jack Ross for their strong and bold efforts throughout the 2026 season, culminating in their excellence throughout the final home-and-away round clash with Geelong.

At the other end of the experience scale, Tiger young gun Taj Hotton receives plenty of praise from the TT team for his breakout AFL performance against the Cats, with comparisons between him and a triple Tiger premiership star.

Also on this week’s show, in light of the football world seemingly losing their collective minds over Carlton surging into the wildcard round following a poor start to the season, Richmond’s even more remarkable run into the 2014 finals is highlighted.

One of those games at the tail end of that season’s incredible comeback features in “60 Years of MCG Memories”.

And the A-Z of Tigerland wheel segment focuses on the wonderful W’s in the Tigers’ 1980 demolition of Collingwood.

For all things Yellow and Black, make sure you tune in to Talking Tigers.
