Hardwick's comments about our poor discipline and costly free kicks

Players who have conceded the most 50-metre penalties in 2022

A degree of Richmond's headaches this season can come down to conceding a substantial amount of 50-metre penalties, with five players having surrendered three or more so far this year.

Lacking discipline, Richmond's mid-match misdemeanours have been costly to their hopes of returning to the top eight this year, with lively midfield-forward hybrid Shai Bolton the main culprit.

Senior quartet Trent Cotchin, Dylan Grimes, Jayden Short and Jack Graham have all conceded three each, seeing five Richmond players rank among the top 18 in the league.
