Richmond great Matthew Richardson provides an insight into what has made Vlastuin one of the competition’s elite backmen and such a pivotal member of the Tigers’ line-up. Also, on a huge show this week, the TT team commemorate the Tigerland life and times of highly-successful former club president Ian Wilson. Exciting Tiger teenager Taj Hotton is put under the microscope by Nathan Broad in “Broady’s Zingers”. “Going up the Country” focuses on a Victorian town in the Yarra Ranges that produced a rugged Richmond cult figure. And, in “60 Years of MCG Memories”, the Tigers’ fantastic, fighting win in the 1995 semi-final against Essendon takes centre stage. For all things Yellow and Black, make sure you tune in to Talking Tigers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
