Tigers search for answers to Dreamtime disaster

RICHMOND players have gone to an undisclosed location away from Punt Road to review Saturday night's dismal performance against Essendon.

The Tigers never looked in the game as they lost by 50 points in what is one of the club's marquee fixtures.

Off the back of a finals appearance in 2013, the Tigers are languishing in 13th spot with just three wins for the season – and no one at the club can explain what's happened.

"It was a very disappointing performance. Dreamtime's a big game, a big stage," chief executive Brendon Gale told AFL.com.au at Punt Road on Monday morning. 

"We keep on keeping on, we review all aspects of our performance - daily, weekly.

"What we presented on Saturday night isn't good enough and we're hell bent on understanding why."

Gale insisted there was no increased pressure on coach Damien Hardwick's position.

"I wouldn't have thought so at all," he said.

"Damien is here for the long term and whilst he's responsible as senior coach it's a shared responsibility at this footy club and we'll work through this together."

Hardwick is contracted until the end of 2016.

The Tigers play North Melbourne on Sunday night at Etihad Stadium.

if its clear enough to fans with a decent a IQ, whats with the lack of 'understanding'? 'hellbent' intentions imply a lack of knowledge and a desperation of PR spin.

you may be 'hellbent'

Heard the club's more concerned that St.Kilda beat us to the punch in the p.c. public relations stakes by appointing the first ever female assistant coach and are currently scouring the netball leagues as a matter of urgency right now as we speak.

I'm sure nobodys feelings will be hurt in the process.

That's OUR Richmond!

I heard that the B&F for 2014 is being scrapped because,
"Everyone is a Winner" and there's no need to single out individuals, as that leads to leadership.
