“The club understands how exciting it is for more regional communities to have an AFL Club in town, so we’re very happy to be able to able to make this visit possible.”
A range of activities, including a kids’ clinic, will also be part of the Tigers’ visit.
The kids’ football clinic will commence at 2.30pm, with Richmond players training from 4pm.
