AS ANTICIPATION grows around a return to the finals for Richmond, the Tigers celebrated their past on Saturday night, inducting four new members into their Hall of Fame.

The Tigers couldn't have planned their celebrations better, with Saturday's 38-point win over Adelaide sending the club to sixth on the ladder and strengthening their finals chances.

The mood of optimism in the room was summed up by president Gary March, who said: "We're in a position we haven't been for a very long time … we're on the verge of something special".

Coach Damian Hardwick also addressed the crowd at Crown Palladium, putting the 7-4 Tigers' September ambitions firmly on the agenda.   

"With the ability we have in our side, it'd be disappointing if we didn't play finals," he said.

"I think the boys are starting to believe they've got the capability to play there."
