Richmond had a bit more going for them in 2022.
The Tigers were placed nicely inside the eight with a nice run of matches ahead of them.
While they aren’t too far behind that this year, their draw is slightly tougher and they have much more competition for a finals spot.
They also don’t have Damien Hardwick at the helm. That’s not to denigrate Andrew McQualter, but ‘Dimma’ had the runs on the board when it came to pursuing September action.
The Tigers have lost some of their scoring strength due to the absence of their best forward Tom Lynch, but the defence has performed marginally better and after recruiting Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper, the midfield is deeper.
The 2023 Tigers remain in the hunt, but most Tigers supporters would have had more faith 12 months ago than they do now.
RATING: Worse (slightly).

i think the article is correct. the list certainly hasnt improved, in fact i think its gone backwards especially forward of the ball.
The lions loss hurt and all our wins have been against very average opposition.
