DESPITE not making the finals in 2008, much has gone right down at Tigerland this year.
The team has come along. Players have come along. So much so that Richmond coach Terry Wallace found himself being quizzed about possible inclusions from his team in this year's All-Australian line-up.
Not bad for a team that finished last in 2007 with just three wins and a draw.
But who would Wallace nominate?
"Well, there's always players that'll come up in calculations, and it's speculative – if us coaches put in who we believed would get there, you'd probably have 80 blokes in the side," he said from Punt Road on Tuesday.
"That's the nature of it, it's not going to go down that pathway."
Come on Terry, give us some names.
"I thought Shane Tuck's finish to the season has been absolutely outstanding, but it is about 22 weeks and he wasn't great in probably the first seven or eight weeks," he said.
"It's interesting that his form has correlated to our form a little bit – when he's really stepped up, that's had an impact on us.
"Richo's (Matthew Richardson has) been super-consistent over the year – missed two games in the middle of it, but I certainly think his form's been good enough for (All-)Australian selection, particularly with such a big, massive change to his role, and having such an impact.
"I would think that he would be worthy.
"And Brett Deledio's the other one for us that's really come of age and played some terrific footy.
"So probably they would be the three that would be the most likely from us."
