JAY SCHULZ is perfectly happy to admit that Richmond isn't a good side to follow if you can't handle a little tension in your life.
The Tigers are now right in the mix for the eight after another result that went right down to the wire, beating Brisbane by three points.
Last week it was Joel Bowden icing the clock by conceding behinds this week Bowden was icing the game by booting the winner with just a few seconds left.
Schulz agreed it was tough to do it so tough.
"The stress levels at the moment? After the last two weeks? Not real good on the health," he said with a laugh. "It's just amazing the crowd was amazing.
"Everything just happens on instinct and you're just hoping the clock runs down, and it eventually did.
"Bowdo (Bowden) was solid as a rock we always knew he could kick straight
one minute he's playing down back and running through points, the next minute he's kicking them. He's kicked four straight, he hasn't missed. He's fantastic."
'The sarge', as he is known to the Richmond faithful, (think Hogan's Heroes), said finals were now on the agenda after five wins from the last six matches.
"Three on the trot as well it's really turned our season around.
"Anything could happen now we knew if we got this one then we could have a real crack next week.
"We don't know anything can happen."
But Schulz warned that lapses like the last two third terms both of which nearly cost Richmond the match when they let the opposition kick a string of unanswered goals had to be sorted out.
"I'm not sure - we're trying to do a few different things, because we know it's been a trend through the year, and it's hurting us.
"It's going to cost us, sooner or later, and we've just got to keep working on it and try something else."
