If you want to rise, you must innovate!
For me, it's the biggest argument against kids learning by tagging, you are basically just teaching them something another club already knows.
I don't think anyone is directly copying Richmond. If they were they'd be running a Grigg in the ruck and only have 1 key forward.
I was talking about forward pressure which is not a Richmond invented tactic. It's just that they're doing it better than anyone else at the minute - though everyone will be trying to match them.
