Richmond needs to become harder to score against (SEN)
« on: August 07, 2023, 07:49:04 PM »
What they need to tweak for next week: Become harder to score against

Richmond has conceded 54 goals and 27 behinds (351 points) from 192 inside 50s across the last three games.

That suggests the opposition is being particularly accurate, and/or the Tigers are allowing shots on goal from very kickable positions.

They certainly are getting enough chances regardless.

In that same three-game stretch, the Tigers have returned 39.31.(265) from just 142 inside 50s for differentials of -86 for total points and -50 for inside 50s. It is something that Andrew McQualter will need to change, to be more rigid around the ball, in order to protect the defence a bit better.

That starts this Sunday against a St Kilda team that Round 20 aside (when scoring 122 against Hawthorn), have tallied scores of just 58, 51, 69 and 54 since Round 17.
