New Richmond president John O’Rourke is a special guest on this week’s episode of the Club’s prominent podcast Talking Tigers.
In a wide-ranging interview, John discusses his rich Yellow and Black heritage, the Tiger players he idolised growing up, the Club’s plan to consistently be a premiership contender, the redevelopment of Punt Road Oval, what he brings to the president’s role, and much more.
The TT team dissects Richmond’s season-opener draw with Carlton, focusing on the many positives, including Daniel Rioli’s superb form across half-back, Tom Lynch’s big pack mark and clutch goal to level the scores in the frenetic final stages of the match, Tim Taranto’s excellent Tiger debut and Dusty’s revitalisation.
And in the new “Spirit of ‘73” segment, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Club’s glorious 1973 season, the focus is on Richmond’s recruitment of Robbie McGhie from Footscray to fill a crucial void at centre half-back.
For all things Yellow and Black, make sure you tune in to Talking Tigers.
