Yze's post-game presser

- Yze said our method and effort didn't fall away (unlike last week against Essendon). Clearances and inside 50s were even in the last quarter. We just couldn't maintain the ball in our front half and that's where we are our youngest and least experienced.

The Tigers led by as much as 34 points halfway through the third term as they went on to dominate centre clearances 16-5 and contested ball 149-120, leaving Kingsley to concede "we didn't deserve to win that game".

The return of Dion Prestia for his first game of the season after being sidelined with an Achilles injury helped the Tigers take charge of the stoppages, while former Giants Jacob Hopper and Tim Taranto were also influential.

But the narrow defeat is the third in a row where the Tigers have paid the price for one poor quarter while they also suffered from wayward kicking for goal when on top in the second and third terms.

"That is deflating. I feel we've almost got a split personality in the rooms at the moment," Tigers coach Adem Yze said.

"I'm so proud of our effort, so proud of our start, and to be fair, so proud of every quarter really. The last quarter got away from us a little bit, but it wasn't method, it wasn't system, it was just slight role execution.

"Their good players played really well in the last quarter and they just finished their work."

At the moment we cannot string 4 quarters together and we will pay the price until we can.

I loved the way we went about it yesterday. Harley might be thinking this is a horse worth backing after all.
We’re showing more in the last 3 months that Harley has seen since he joined the Eagles.

“Angry that we didn’t win”: Richmond coach gutted by fourth-quarter fadeout

"So as a group, we sit here really flat, but at the same time, understand that we're on the right path," Yze said.

"We come up on a mission as a footy club, our VFL team had a great win, and we're a few minutes away from having an enormous win for our footy club.

"We'll look at all of the reasons behind it. We'll look at all the positives on why we started well and why we dominated for the majority of the game, and then find out the reasons why that last quarter got away from us. So it's pretty clear, but really disappointed."

Yze didn't want to label any excuses, such as youth or travel, for the loss.

"The execution, and I think just their talent in the last quarter just shone," Yze said.

"It's something that we're striving for, where we're trying to get to - they're competing in big games and finals, and that's where we want to get to.

"Some of our younger boys will be better for it, but at the same time, they're angry that we didn't win."
