Talking Tigers: Episode 428

About this episode

Matthew Richardson discusses young forward Liam Fawcett's potential and highlights other talented players in Richmond's lineup.

Richmond great Matthew Richardson tells why he’s a big rap for young key forward Liam Fawcett in the latest episode of Talking Tigers. ‘Richo’ was taken with Fawcett’s strong performance against Port Adelaide at the MCG last Saturday and believes he has the necessary attributes to become a permanent fixture in Richmond’s attack. Also on this week’s show, the TT panel (minus one) continue to sing the praises of other talented Tiger cubs in Sam Grlj, Sam Lalor and Luke Trainor. Club historian Rhett Bartlett chronicles the amazing record of Richmond Stawell Gift winners in his “Hidden Tigerland” segment. And in “60 Years of MCG Memories”, the spotlight is on the Tigers’ late-season clash with Hawthorn in 1970, which produced plenty of highlights. For all things Yellow and Black, make sure you tune in to Talking Tigers. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
