RICHMOND

Richmond's starts haven't been identified as a big issue because the club has recovered and got itself into a position to finish top four. The Tigers' poor starts, however, nearly cost them that chance. Every loss they have had this year, they have ended the first quarter behind. It hasn't been by big margins, kicking 11.16 to their opponents' 16.14, but its enough to put them on the back foot. Conversely, the Tigers are ending matches impressively, winning 11 of 15 fourth quarters. The exception was in round 16 when St Kilda came from 52 points behind at three-quarter time to nearly cause a boil over, eventually losing by 16 points.
