Great analysis, the positives are Lynch,Grimes ,Ross,Bolton,Stack and Ellis.2019 Richmond Tigers List Power Rankings - Round 4
Latest Match Result: Port Adelaide 14.8.92 defeated by Richmond 15.9.99
What a result. One of the best home and away wins by the club in a while. With their back against the wall the Tigers found away to win. Grimes was superb in defence, Lynch was a dominant force up forward, Ellis played his best game for years and the midfield managed to get the job done. Even better, the club looks to have found another young contributor with Jack Ross showing he is more than capable of being in an AFL midfield. Shane Edwards will lead the side as captain again but with Dustin Martin and Bachar Houli to return who will make way? A week is a long time in football as last week the list of potential players to drop was huge, now it's hard to even think of two unfortunate players to be dropped!

Shoots to the top of the power rankings after a 6 goal performance. Scary to think the guy is still not fully fit.

A fantastic debut by the midfielder. Form has been great in the VFL and he carried it through to the seniors. Looks to be another find.

Other than a brilliant intercept possession that led to a goal he was fiarly quiet. May be time to go back to the VFL, particularly with Caddy back and Riewoldt close to returning.
