Perhaps reflective of Richmond's up-and-down year with both available personnel and form, its positives were great, and its negatives were very bad. Once again, the Tigers were one of the stronger sides when it came to the scoring from turnover differential, and were the fourth-best team for time in forward half compared to their opponent. After righting the clearance ship somewhat last year, it was a very poor year on that front, sitting dead last as injuries took their toll. The Tigers' defence – usually a strength – also leaked badly in the absence of some key talls.
