Richmond's loss left them one win and percentage adrift of second-from-bottom North, and in line for their first wooden spoon since 2007.
They would be the first premiership side to then finish last within four seasons since West Coast in 2010.
"The ladder position is irrelevant to us," Yze said.
"What we've dealt with throughout the year has been pretty tough and our whole mindset around the last six or seven games is around finishing the season strongly for our fans.
"I felt like today they would've come to the game and felt the pressure and would've sensed that our players really care.
"That side of it is evident, but our polish and our execution is just off and we've just got to keep working on that."
The Tigers dominated territory early and had more inside-50s (60-44), clearances (39-33) and scoring shots (27-20) than their opponents, but coach Adem Yze was left ruing missed opportunities.
"If we knew we were going to dish up those numbers we'd be pretty happy with the opportunities we created," Yze said.
"But we gave away goals where we can't defend because some of our ball movement was just too scattered.
"It's really disappointing and our players are really disappointed because they felt like they left it all out there today."
