AFL.com.au examines the summer training tactics employed across the competition as we gear towards the NAB Cup

Richmond
Having been stung by a number of narrow losses last year, including three by less than four points between rounds 16 and 18 and then a draw in the final round against Port Adelaide, the Tigers have spent the summer focusing on maintaining their composure when things get hot. Former skipper Chris Newman said there had been an emphasis on "situational plays" when the pressure is on, like in the final five minutes of a game when the opposition kicks a string of goals. The Tigers also hope their recent recruitment of "mature heads" will further strengthen that philosophy.

RICHMOND
Reece Conca has been training with the midfield group with an eye to spend more time in an inside role this season. Tall utility David Astbury has been training well after an injury-hit two years and is working at both ends of the ground. He will look to find his spot in the NAB Cup but spent time in the backline against the Indigenous All Stars last Friday night. Rookie Orren Stephenson has been working on his forward line craft, Luke McGuane carried on from last year and played in attack against the All Stars and Aaron Edwards will add something to their forward structure too.

Showed a bit last year on the 'inside'. Really hope he can step up to the B+ level or beyond.
