In part two of an enthralling Roar Vision ‘Richo’ feature, five-time Richmond premiership hero and Tiger ‘Immortal’, Francis Bourke, speaks candidly on a range of topics, including the move late in his playing career to full-back, his transition from player to coach, the disappointment of the 1982 Grand Final loss to Carlton and the subsequent fall-out, and the Club’s current-day playing group.
