Richmond

                                           Key stat     League rank
 
Contested possession differential    +8.4     2nd
 
Score per inside 50                  52.0%     4th
 
Disposal efficiency                   73.4%     3rd
 

SUMMARY:
The Tigers used Jack Riewoldt further up the ground in 2013 in an effort to find a greater spread of goalkickers. While some criticised the move, it resulted in a less predictable forward line and gave the team more attacking options, which explains the scores per inside 50 ranking. The Tigers' clean foot skills were also instrumental in getting the ball to their forwards in good positions, allowing them to convert consistently. While he led the team with 58 goals, Riewoldt played a key role in setting up his teammates, ranking No.1 for his club for goal assists (he ranked No.3 in the competition in this category). Richmond played a slick brand of football in 2013, keeping stoppage numbers low and doing its best work on the outside. This generally resulted in less contested play, less tackling and a higher disposal efficiency. When the ball was up for grabs, however, the Tigers didn't flinch, with coach Damien Hardwick instilling on a hard edge in his players.

Where did we rate on mental toughness ?  I'd say 18th going on the the last two times we played Carlton.
