February 7, 2015RICHMONDMiles ahead: It took until round 12 for Anthony Miles to make his Richmond debut last season and he made quite the impact once he did. He racked up 145 contested possessions in the 13 games he played, which ranked him equal 15th in the competition and second at Richmond from round 12 onwards. He also amassed 88 clearances in that time, which ranked him equal fourth in the League in the second half of the season.
Sharing the load: The Tigers have a scoring profile different from most other clubs. While Jack Riewoldt remains as their No.1 goal-kicker, the next best four last season were midfielders who pushed forward. Dustin Martin, Shane Edwards, Brett Deledio and Trent Cotchin kicked 87 goals between them, with Martin proving a match-winner on more than one occasion.
High talent: While much is made of the expansion teams' lists and their legion of top 20 draft picks, the Tigers are shaping well in that department too. They have 12 players who were picked inside the top 20, which ranks them equal second in that area.
