Another Richmond young gun in Harry Armstrong features in the final “Broady’s Zingers” for the year. The popular “60 Years of MCG Memories” focuses on a sensational goalkicking display by a top Tiger of the 1980s, who was not renowned for scoring goals. While in “Hidden Tigerland”, club historian Rhett Bartlett has the details of a daredevil stunt that took place on the Punt Road Oval in 1980 which, had it gone wrong, would have cost Richmond the premiership that year.
