THE RESOLVE

Richmond coach Damien Hardwick kept the faith, and the Tigers repaid it, finally clinching a close one.

And still more dipping of the lid to Richmond coach Damien Hardwick for refusing to succumb to the gathering hysteria surrounding his side's second last-minute disaster in a row against GWS. It's easy to get caught up in the passion, and in this case frustration of the Tiger army, but Hardwick continued to accentuate the positive, which was that the Tigers had played very good football against some very good teams. Against Essendon, they finally came through, the result that Richmond are a smidge of percentage away from the top four. In a season where even the very best have had huge ups and downs, the Tigers have been steady indeed, just the one shocker against Adelaide. It's a trait not to be underestimated.
