I have a Richmond mate who reminded me of this little beauty he witnessed - Round 16, 2017
ST KILDA 5.3 14.8 19.8 21.12
RICHMOND 1.3 1.4 4.9 10.11
Familiar looking scoreline? The Tigers only lost one game after that and creamed everyone to win the flag. Not saying that is what we will do, but sometimes a flogging can be the pressure point that creates a diamond.
Time for some in Navy Blue to stop looking like talented kids and get a bit serious about how the game is approached.
Take your point on how things turn but Tigers were a bit different in that they were not 4 from 38 going into that game....previous years had them 13th, 5th, 8th, 5th, so for three years in a row they played finals before dropping to 13th.....we have been 18th, 16th, 14th, 18th going backwards.
