Richo on 3aw :- "It was a sign of maturity and in the last few years Richmond might have lost that game. I think Richmond are going as well as last year."

Robbo talking about Richmond in his 'The Tackle' column today ....

It’s always the question when a team — and Richmond is the same — produces football many expected to be its trademark and not its exclamation mark.

People with masters degrees in football mentality might be able tell us if it is pressure of expectation. But right now, Eagles and Tigers fans are not overly caring.

They are seeing ultra-competitive and ultra-attacking teams, and finals positions are not beyond them.

Both teams can’t make it, probably neither team will make it, but they get to decide that. This week, the Eagles have the Dons (eighth) and the Tigers play the Crows (seventh), and they are four points behind both teams.

And what of the Tigers?

That’s six in a row and all the qualities we were looking for at the start of the year are materialising. Resilience and toughness comes to mind and it’s why coach Damien Hardwick played the happy fan after the game.

They stood up when challenged and then ran away with the game.

It gave the players and coach confidence in the direction and substance of the team. And there was a nod of appreciation from Jack Riewoldt for his skipper Trent Cotchin in the wash-up.

“We’ve developed a bit of steely resolve and I suppose all of the credit, or most of the credit has got to go to the captain,” Riewoldt said.

“He’s the one who has stood up and grabbed the group by the scruff of the neck, along with Ivan (Maric) and the rest of the leadership group, and said, ‘Boys we are not copping this and this is where we need to get better’.”

It's that simple Spud
"I discussed (it) with my three daughters, my wife and my 82-year-old mum, because it has really affected me … If those comments … were made about one of my daughters, it would make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I would not have liked it at all.”

lol at richo, it really goes to show that those who have played the game are just as much over the shop as supporters.

not long ago richo rightly came out and said theres plenty hard decisions need to be made and we need to cut plenty of players.
all of a sudden a few wins against lower/ middling sides and out of form sides p/a and richo thinks all is well.

its this all over the shop attiyude that has stuffed us. he was right we need make some hard decisions and if hes an example of what is going on those decisions wont be made.
