------------------------------------------------------------

“The body of work is really strong,” Richmond VFL coach Craig McRae told ‘Roar Vision’.

“Whether it’s the wins, or losses it’s just the way we’ve gone about it . . .

“We’re in good shape.”

McRae revealed what the main focus of the VFL team had been throughout the preparations for the 2017 season.

“We’ve focused all pre-season on developing a winning culture – something the VFL (team) hasn’t had in its time, and something we’re working towards,” McRae said.

“Late last year, we won our last six games in-a-row, which started to show that we’re capable of that.

“But starting to do that week in, week out, from the start of the season, is something we’re focused on.”
