Talking Tigers: Hail to the Chief

The latest episode of Richmond’s premier podcast Talking Tigers features a special tribute to retired triple premiership star defender Dylan Grimes.

Richmond great Matthew Richardson reflects on Grimes’ rare ability to shut down dangerous opposition forwards of all shapes and sizes – from Charlie Cameron to Jeremy Cameron.

The TT team also pour praise on Grimes for taking over as general of the Tigers’ backline when Alex Rance retired and filling the sizeable void so superbly.

Also on this week’s show, there is a focus on Richmond’s two most improved players in season 2024.

The “Going up the Country” segment spotlights a Victorian town that produced a multi-premiership hero for the Tigers, a dual Jack Dyer Medallist, and a high-flying forward who averaged more than a goal per match in a 100-game-plus career at Punt Road.

And the “Spirit of ‘74” takes a look at the feisty reaction of Tiger officials to raging-hot favourite Kevin Bartlett being beaten in the 1974 Brownlow Medal count
