ONE POSITIVE AND ONE NEGATIVE FROM YOUR CLUB'S ROUND 4 PERFORMANCEAndrew Slevison

12 April 2021Positive: ‘Richmond’-like performanceRichmond was brushed aside by Sydney in Round 3 but were well and truly back in the contest against Port Adelaide last Friday night.
The Tigers absolutely came to play but in the end were agonisingly short of pulling off a character building win which could have helped springboard them forward after the heavy loss to the Swans.
Although it was a defeat, it was a much more ‘Richmond’-like performance which would have pleased Damien Hardwick, especially as they were without the likes of Dion Prestia, Nick Vlastuin and Kamdyn McIntosh.
The Tigers also blooded two debutants - Will Martyn and Ryan Mansell - in a massive game which is another positive sign.
No doubt they will take plenty from that performance.
Negative: Two losses in a rowThere’s no sugar-coating it. The Tigers need a win after two losses on the trot.
The current 2-2 situation is certainly not a season breaker for the reigning champs, but in order to correct some wobbles they must win soon.
This Thursday they get the chance to power back into winning form when they meet St Kilda at Marvel Stadium - a combination that consigned them to a 26-point loss in Round 4 last year.
