ICYMI, R8: In Case You Missed It

By Gemma Bastiani

The Tigers are rarely out of it

Heading into the final quarter, Richmond just needs to be within touching distance of the lead to be a threat. Down by nine points at three-quarter time against Hawthorn on Friday, the Tigers piled on 21 points to just one behind in order to record their fourth win of the season. In round four against the Blues, Richmond came from behind at the last break to win, and in round one they were all square with Brisbane at that same break before a last gasp win. This season the Tigers have won six of their eight final quarters, showing that teams need to create more scoreboard distance early in the game if they're to feel secure late in games.
