* The Tigers begin well, winning 7 of 10 1st terms and are at their best defensively. They rank 3rd.

* The 2nd quarter is also a positive with 6 wins and 1 draw to rank 5th.

* Richmond’s good form continues into the 3rd term where they’ve outscored their opponents 6 times for a rank of 5.

* It is the 4th term which is a worry, winning 4 of 10 to rank 13th while scoring only 18.1 points.

The injuries to players during games would help that star, plus taking the foot off the pedal as well. No big concern?

It's been a notable issue since about two-thirds of the way through last year....

And yet for the first 2/3 of last year our fourth quarters were our strength and we were consistently finishing over the top of other teams.

Interesting one.

Don't forget how many kids we are playing. Might just be a fitness thing.

I’m with 65 on this one. Kids are going to struggle to run out games with the same intensity

I figured they were just chucking the cue back on the rack, taking it easy and getting the points, not risking any bodies. Since last year too...show up, absorb some pressure, win the game in 3rd Q, then sit back and take the points...
