Richmond will use key elements of yesterday’s 76-point loss to unbeaten ladder leader Adelaide as a valuable learning tool for its playing group.

The Tigers’ coach Damien Hardwick is keen turn the disappointment of the hefty defeat into a positive for his players.

“There’s no doubt that their work-rate from contest to contest certainly taught our blokes a lesson today,” Hardwick said.

“We were disappointed in that part of our game.

“We’ll certainly learn a fair bit off the tape this week, in review.

“The first quarter was reflective, if we play good, hard, disciplined footy, of where we’re at. But they lifted their work-rate, and we just couldn’t go with them.

“We’ll look at the tape and show our players the work-rate that’s required to be the No. 1 side in the AFL.

“That’s a really good lesson learned for us.

“Did we want it to blow out to the margin that it was? No we didn’t. But it’s an opportunity going forward to learn some things that they do very, very well.”

Proof will be in the pudding, if we come out and dish up another 3/4s of the Adelaide crap then we have learnt nothing. Need to make a statement especially this week but over the next month too as we can quickly go from hero to zero.

One thing that was noticeable against the Crows was their ability to get the ball away when tackled. The umps certainly assisted in this area but the Dogs are also very good in close so if we don't make our tackles stick then we will be in a similar type of game, the defence cannot continue to hold up endless 50 entries as was shown on Sunday..

Each team is allowed a shocker, problem I have is our track record indicates a poor "learning" aptitude

"thumping loss doesn't reflect progress"  no I would suggest it reflects a big stuffing slide backwards

While part of me agrees that yesterday shouldn't mean we ignore the improvements we've made eg F50 defensive pressure, better game style etc

Facts are after taking some baby steps forward in the first 5 rounds we took one mighty leap backwards

Let's see how we respond, that will tell us more than yesterday did (IMHO)

I really don't see it as a leap backwards. I see a young side who will be inconsistent came up against the best side in the comp ( quite easily the best atm) and got well beaten for 3 quarters. It's not a step backwards because this is where we are at , probably top 8 but can't match it with the best for 4 quarters. I like Dimma said I can't wait to see how the go against the dogs.

Young side? Just because you play a small handfull of 20 year olds doesnt nean we are a young side.

spot on they played 6 blokes aged 22 or less lo and behold so did we.

Im actually questioning the so called leap forward in most things, i just dont see it. While a few areas have picked up  i think we have played a lot of very ordinary footy this yr we just happened to end up on the right side of the win/loss ledger.

Hardwick and the supporters back in familiar territory.

Of course, its fair to assume a 'thumping win' wouldnt reflect progress either?

Thank you. Stay vigilant.
