The Tigers pounced on Retschko in the trade period after a year on Geelong’s rookie list.
Despite it being announced he would be delisted, he joined Richmond on deadline day for pick 99 instead.
The Oakleigh Chargers and Caulfield Grammar product is a hard-running and athletic half-back/midfielder who finished fifth in the Cats’ VFL best and fairest.
Retschko is a lifelong Tigers fan and signed a one-year contract.
