Big Question: RichmondDoes the mood change if they fall to 2-3?Should you wish to find the last time that Richmond lost three consecutive games, you would need to take your plutonium powered DeLorean back to June 30th of 2019.
Like the club’s sides of the early twenties and the early seventies, winning has become a habit for these contemporary Tigers. However, should St. Kilda manage to topple them this weekend, would the previously buoyant mood at Punt Road take a turn for the worse?
Richmond’s previous pair of losses to Sydney and Port Adelaide are nothing to get in a twist about if you take ladder positions into account. But for a team that has swept almost all before them in the past three years, if the eighth placed Tigers head into their clash with Melbourne on Anzac eve off the back of three defeats, there is no telling how tense – and possibly terse – things will be behind closed doors.
Of course, all of this speculation relies upon the fellow 2-2 Saints getting the chocolates on Thursday. However, if it is a bastardised blues theme that play over the tannoy at full-time, Damien Hardwick will have a tough job getting his team back on track, with clashes against Melbourne, the Western Bulldogs, Geelong and Brisbane to come before the bye.
