1. You can't rely on the Tigers

Although the Tigers have made significant improvement this season, the loss to Geelong at Simonds Stadium allowed the questions to linger. Richmond could argue it's tough to beat Geelong when you lose a player, in this case Josh Caddy, before quarter-time playing in hostile territory. But this was another chance for the Tigers to be taken seriously, and they failed. Geelong was without its skipper, its most important forward and its third-best midfielder and were on the ropes when Richmond drew within a goal early in the last quarter. But the Tigers could not make them pay. Now we must wait until finals to see if the Tigers are better than they have been before. Until then they will remain an afterthought in premiership discussions.

Exactly

Nothing matters until the finals

Time will tell if they really have changed and especially the coach

I want to see miles or Townsend playing in the finals. So should probably see how Townsend goes at AFL level. We are gonna need a contested mid I think we've shown we can get quite exposed there.

I think we are very reliable.  You can count on Richmond to get the same results year in year out, we have been very consistent.
