Former Richmond VFA player blogging!

Imagine , if 100 years ago, we had a former player in the heart of Richmond, who could tell us all that is happening in the great place of Tigerland.

Well wish no more- a tongue in cheek look, as the mighty Jack Hutchison (Richmond VFA goalkicking machine and premiership player) has agreed to keep us all in touch with the latest Richmond news from 1908-1909. (yes cash did exchange hands)
