Maric recently said it was good for the Tigers to go through the pain of a disappointing start to 2014 in order to improve their "poor" training standards.
 
Asked what exactly has changed, Petterd replied "a lot".
 
"The way we train went up another level. I think it's just everyone holding everyone accountable," he said.
 
"We didn't want to let anyone down. We didn't want to let 'Dimma' down and more importantly ourselves, so I think that's what's driving us."
 
Petterd (14 disposals, two goals) and Maric (11 disposals and 26 hit-outs) were solid contributors in Richmond's 27-point win over Greater Western Sydney at the MCG on Saturday, a triumph that kept the Tigers' finals flame flickering.
 
Although Richmond's woeful start to its season is likely to cost it a finals berth, Petterd said the Tigers haven't given up hope.
 
"I suppose we've just got to keep winning as many games as we can and let the rest look after itself," he said.
 
"We'll play every game like we've got a chance. We've got a big one Friday night (against Essendon).
 
"The boys get up against the really good teams like we showed against Port a few weeks ago."

A few North players mentioned that Scott wasn't hard enough on them and the media picked it up and put the heat on him.

Hope the same happens here.

One of the major symptoms of this disease is poor standards and the delusion that near enough is good enough.
