Brian Taylor was at his all-time best as he wandered around the Richmond rooms on Friday night after their win over Geelong at the MCG.

The Channel 7 commentator has delighted fans over the years with his segment ‘Roaming Brian’ in the winning rooms of AFL teams.

Taylor nonchalantly walks around and grabs ahold of anybody he can as he takes viewers on a weird and wild journey.

On Friday night he may have delivered his greatest performance yet as he spoke with Tigers star Samson Ryan’s mum.

Belinda bursts onto the screen as BT walks past, reeling him in and kicking off the interview with high-octane energy.

“Brian I love you,” she shrieks. “I’m Samson’s mum.”

Attending her first game of the season the mother of the 22-year-old also met her son’s partner, Lily, for the first time.

“We’re from Queensland, we haven’t been to any other games this year,” she says.

After asking about how the first-time meeting the new girlfriend went, Belinda turns to the crowd to bring Lily into the conversation only for her to be standing right next to Taylor already.

As Samson joins the interview he answers questions about how the game unfolded before Belinda jumps in to tell Taylor about their younger son who opted to go down the cricket path.

It’s at this moment that Samson departs the interview as BT leans in to ask Lily her thoughts on meeting Belinda for the first time.

“Oh she’s lovely, she’s um … plastered but lovely,” Lily says laughing.

Belinda adds: “Very passionate” before thanking BT for the chat.

The Tigers pulled off one of the season’s biggest upsets as they turned the clock back to the halcyon days of yellow and black dominance, running over a Geelong side that had been taking all before them after a slow start to the season.

The Tigers ran out 16.6 (102) to 11.12 (78) winners over the Cats, with Dustin Martin kicking two goals in the fourth quarter and imposing the dominance on the competition that made him a three-time Norm Smith Medallist.

The result snapped the Cats’ five-game winning streak and saw the Tigers secure back-to-back wins for the first time this year.

Classic scenes 😅

Richmond’s win came at a cost, though, with Jacob Hopper subbed out late in the third quarter with a calf injury.

Daniel Rioli told media after the game it was “good to have that flow” that had been missing from the Tigers’ season so far.

“We knew that Geelong wanted to use that ball, be composed, use that flow,” Rioli said.

Veteran midfielder Trent Cotchin called it “reward for effort”.

“It was probably a little bit of reward for effort, we knew we’ve been building towards this and what better stage than to beat the Cats,” Cotchin told Abbey Holmes.

Asked about Dion Prestia, playing his 200th game, Cotchin was glowing in his praise.

“The general public don’t see the amount of work he does behind the scenes, the amount of film work and reviewing games, but also his workrate in games is second to none,” he said.

Dustin Martin echoed his sentiments, saying Prestia was “just a great person.”

“Really happy we can do it for him tonight,” he said.
