ABC presenter Gavin McGrath, who is also a passionate Richmond AFL supporter and former sports reporter for The Courier, has been following the Chiefs for about 25 years. This was sparked by what he said was a "cultural exchange" with a American he met in a social media platform talking military history. Talk with Mooster Yates quickly turned to football.

Moose lives in Independence, Missouri, north of Kansas City. He proudly wears a Richmond jumper, hat and holds a Tigers' coffee mug. He sent Mr McGrath "Chiefs merch" including a jersey emblazoned with Mr McGrath's initial social media handle, Tiger Tank 17.

Broadcaster Steve Price.

“I've got four memberships at Richmond (Tigers). I see that as a donation to the football club every year.

One of the police officiers killed last night was a Tigers supporter  :(.


Senior Constable King, a father of three boys and avid Richmond Football Club fan, worked at the Nunawading Highway Patrol unit.

Think "Well known and famous" might be a bit of a stretch there.... :shh

More “unknown and irrelevant “
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Barty was spotted in the Gabba stands as her beloved Tigers took on the Brisbane Lions in a qualifying final.

First found by the cameras looking glum after the Lions took a strangehold on the match, it didn’t take long for Barty to brighten up after a Tigers goal.

Footy fans soaked up the the Queenslander’s love of the game, complete with fist pump and beer in hand.

And it wasn’t missed by reporters covering the French Open, either.

Footage of Barty at the footy went viral.

I’ve been to the footy in Brisbane many times over the years and not just Richmond games.

What I’ve noticed more than anything is the amount of people not actually watching the game.

For example, The last time I was up there, there was two woman and a bloke talking about life the whole game  and every now and then you’d hear them ask each other, “did we kick that or was it the other mob?” and then back to the convo.

I’m not sure why they were there to be honest. But that was normal according to my ex victorian mate I was at the game with.

By the look of the picture above it looks as though Ash is the only one interested in the actual game.   
The club that keeps giving.

Brilliant truth behind Ash Barty's beer-drinking footy visit

Sam Goodwin
Sports Editor
Yahoo Sport Australia
6 October 2020

While her opponents were slogging it out at the cold and miserable French Open on Saturday, Ash Barty was enjoying a beer (or two) at the footy on a warm Brisbane night.

If that doesn’t sum up 2020 for you, what does?

Barty opted not to travel to Roland Garros or the preceding US Open this year, despite being the defending champion in Paris.

The Australian champion hasn’t played a competitive match since February, yet none of her nearest rivals have managed to take the World No.1 ranking from her.

With Simona Halep’s shock loss in the fourth round at the French Open on Sunday, Barty is guaranteed to finish the year as World No.1.

The loss ended Halep's career-best winning streak of 17 consecutive matches, guaranteeing that Barty - who chose to skip the US and French Opens due to concerns about coronavirus and her preparation - will finish the year atop the world rankings.

And in doing so, Barty has made some incredible Australian tennis history.

The 24-year-old will become the first Australian woman to finish as World No.1 in back-to-back years, and the first Aussie since Lleyton Hewitt in 2002.

Not bad for someone who hasn’t played in eight months.

Barty sent fans into a frenzy on Saturday night when she was spotted at the Gabba cheering on her beloved Richmond Tigers against Brisbane.

With beer in hand, Barty could be seen revving up the Tigers as they fought to come back against the Lions.

“Imagine if you’d been told in January that Ash Barty would watch an AFL final in person while the French Open - of which she is defending champion - was going on simultaneously,” Fox Sports’ Daniel Cherny tweeted.

Others described Barty as “our true queen” and an “Australian icon”.
