September 15, 2015Heartbroken Richmond players have abandoned traditional Mad Monday hi-jinks in favour of a rather more sober club lunch.
The Tigers chose to avoid typical Mad Monday festivities – ones that have so regularly ended in negative headlines for football clubs over the years – because they did not want to jeopardise their "excellent progress and work" throughout 2015, according to a club source.
The heartbreak in faltering at the first final for a third year in a row had placed a massive dampener on end-of-year celebrations, the source said. "A few beers, some lunch and, if they can manage it, some laughs. That's the plan," the source said.
