This week we go back in time with former Richmond and Port Adelaide goal-sneak Chris Naish. Chris reminisces about his career, reflects on some of his favourite moments and people in the game.

Chris, an inventive and clever small forward from Wangaratta, was drafted by Richmond with pick 5 in the 1988 VFL National Draft. Chris made his debut with the Tigers in the 1990 season and then went on to play 143 games in the yellow and black, kicking 212 goals. At the end of 1997 season, Chris was traded to South Australia and played with the Port Adelaide Power for two seasons, adding further 18 games and 16 goals to his tally.

In this episode, Chris talks about delaying his AFL journey to finish school, his early years at the Tigers, roving to some the club's best forwards, playing State of Origin Football, the Tigers coaching landscape during the 90's, almost heading to Sydney,  playing in an AFL Reserves premiership and playing with Port Adelaide.

A great listen with the seventy-fifth member of 'The 90's Club Footy Podcast'.
