Title: How would you rate our preseason?
Post by: one-eyed on March 09, 2020, 03:17:18 PM
Fox Footy gave us a C.

RICHMOND

Results:
Lost to Collingwood 44-84.
Lost to GWS Giants 95-109.

Oh no, the Tigers lost two pre-season games! Take them out of your top eight, quick! Seriously though, there is no reason at all to be concerned about Richmond. Their narrow loss to GWS was played at a very high standard - they lost to two very good teams - and the Tigers used the Marsh Series to give young players an audition for the best 22. There are plenty of candidates, including hyphenated pair Callum Coleman-Jones and Riley Collier-Dawkins, while it was great to see Jack Higgins back on the park after his 2019 brain surgery. Damien Hardwick is completely spoiled for choice at the selection table, and this team is a deserved premiership favourite.

Grade: C

What a joke - rating pre-season games haha. Worse than rating trade and draft efforts...
