Footy Finals Fever with Konrad Marshall

The People's Game

The sun is out, the temperature is slowly rising and there's more than just a hint of jasmine in the air but strangely an epidemic of sorts is sweeping the country. Footy Finals Fever is affecting the hearts and minds of millions of people across Australia at the moment, and as such The Citizens of the People's Game are making a some house calls during the pre-finals lull to check up on a few of their favourite footy friends. Our last visit of AFL Finals Week 1, 2019 sees Kasey and JB head to the Caroline Wilson Room at The Age to talk to another famous Richmond fan and long-time friend of the podcast - Konrad Marshall. Konrad is one of the best profile writers going around and his 2017 book, Yellow and Black - A Season with Richmond is a must read for all football fans regardless of club allegiances, however it's clear to see where Konrad's colours lie. Whether it is his September superstitions, strong Tiger Twitter game or earnest descriptions of fandom it's pretty clear to see that Konrad is Richmond through and through. Richmond are hitting form at the right time of year yet again, and love them or hate them there's few better battle cries than Yellow and Black! Enjoy the Tiger chat...
