I did some research, they’ve either been smashed, lost a close one or just gotten over the line against the best defensive teams in the league they’ve played so far. Unless they learn to deal with that pressure, home and away, they’re looking at another straight sets exit.I mentioned a few weeks ago that Brisbane's small defenders are slow and suspect to pressure and they were found lacking again Thursday night . They're beatable if we can put them under the pump.
Hahah couldn’t believe they pinged himCripps got pinged for a throw. Jesus.

We’re already one of the greatest teams in afl historyInteresting article sourced of zerohangar website 24/6/22 - Author: Ronny Lerner
(please accept my apology in advance for the long read)
“Warriors lay down blueprint for history-chasing Tigers”The recently-completed NBA season finished with the cementing of a dynasty for the ages.
The legendary Golden State Warriors won their fourth championship in eight seasons to join Michael Jordan’s Bulls, Bill Russell's Celtics, Magic Johnson’s Lakers, Larry Bird’s Celtics and the Shaquille O’Neal-Kobe Bryant-led Lakers, as one of the greatest teams of all time.
Again, the similarities with Richmond are there for all to see.
The Tigers’ triple premiership core is back up and running again this year as well.
The dangerous dozen, consisting of Dion Prestia, Dylan Grimes, Nick Vlastuin, Nathan Broad, Daniel Rioli, Toby Nankervis, Martin, Jack Riewoldt, Trent Cotchin, Kane Lambert, Shane Edwards and Jason Castagna, have been performing very well as a collective and have played a major role in getting their team within touching distance of the top four.
And like the Warriors, they have an army of effective soldiers providing valuable assistance, such as Liam Baker, Shai Bolton, Tom Lynch, Jayden Short, Jack Graham, Kamdyn McIntosh, Marlion Pickett, Robbie Tarrant, Noah Balta and Josh Gibcus, the vast majority of whom have also tasted premiership success with Richmond.
After starting the season 2-4, Richmond have slowly but surely been building momentum, and with six wins from their last seven games, they sit in sixth spot with an 8-5 record, just a game outside fourth position, which is currently occupied by their next opponent Geelong.
Reigning premiers Melbourne might have sent an ominous reminder to the rest of the competition on Thursday night that they are far from a spent force, as they destroyed fellow flag fancies Brisbane by 64 points, but Richmond will keep plugging away, quietly confident they can pull off a ‘Golden State’ by winning a fourth flag.A major indicator that suggests the Tigers are neck deep in the premiership race this year is the return of their devastating turnover game, which was central to their golden run between 2017-2020.
In their last seven games, Damien Hardwick’s men have ranked first in the competition for points from turnovers, points differential from turnovers, forward-half turnovers created and points from forward-half turnovers.
They are numbers that are certain to set off alarm bells in the coaches’ boxes of each of their 17 opponents.
The Richmond story isn’t exactly the same as Golden State’s, after all the Tigers only experienced one bout of finals heartache when the Mason Cox-inspired Magpies stunned them in the 2018 preliminary final. The Warriors, on the other hand, lost two finals series to Cleveland (2016) and Toronto (2019).
But if the Tigers manage to pinch a fourth flag in six seasons this year, after overcoming a lengthy injury list in 2021 and being written off as a legitimate contender, they will rightly go down as one of the greatest teams in VFL/AFL history like the Warriors in the NBA.
Its part of the AFL's equalisation policy.The free kicks mckay and curnow get are absolutely disgusting, if jack and lynch got the same we would win every game by 50
Imagine how someone like Nathan Buckley must feel when he sees George with 3 premiership medalsMind you Castagna proved spuds can be triple premiership players too
