Can we call this a victory anyway?
I'm not one for honourable losses, a loss is a loss, but we're talking about a team that finished last got rid of talent, lazy and flawed it may have been, rung the changes with coaching, players, admin, and game plan and we went up against a club that has had a coach and a game plan for 6-ish seasons.
Richmond have not had the turmoil that we've had in the 2010's, they have had the same core players, same coach and the same message. They have a steady administration and a great membership, yes they were missing a couple of pieces, but they should have depth through a decade of high picks that they have kept.
Richmond are being spoken about in the 4th - 6th bracket of teams, yet the "basket case" from last season made them look second rate and bewildered as a wave of blue kept sweeping the ball forward with organisation and dare, highlighting our need for quality forwards, which will come. I wonder if David Parkin wants to retract his comments yet?
Bolton got his assessment right, a lack of poise or "polish" stopped us from getting the 4 points, no time to rest on laurels though Sydney will be much harder than this lot next Sunday
