Richmond's power helped lure Mark Williams Sam Edmund
From: Herald Sun
February 05, 2013 PREMIERSHIP coach Mark Williams has revealed Richmond's star power was a major factor in him joining the club.
Williams was lured into a development role at Punt Rd after two seasons at Greater Western Sydney and admitted he was relishing working with a crowd-pulling club.
"I've been at clubs that haven't been able to draw a crowd for a long time now and it's going to bring back great memories of a full house at the MCG and winning big games, which is what it's all about.
"The first time I was introduced to the players I said, 'You better understand how lucky you are to be at this club and the responsibility we all have now to make sure it's successful'."
He has been working closely with the Tigers youngsters, including Dustin Martin.
"Young players don't develop linear ... You have to be patient with them, if you can instill a great work ethic and make sure they understand the game plan, if they work hard they'll get there."
