Robbie was on the Sunday Footy Show today.
* The show started with a flick back to the Eagles lost with images of the players after the game devastated and Dimma saying it was our most disappointing loss and that our season starts now (round 6). They then showed highlights from our wins since, the Tiger Army going nuts and the commentators saying the sleeping giant has awoken. It was great stuff to get the Tiger blood pumping
* Barrett asked Robbie what has changed since that Eagles loss in round 5? Robbie said we lost both to Geelong and the Eagles by just 10 points so we knew we had improved as both sides beat us comfortably last year. Since then we've just continued to improved and work on our structures.
* Robbie was then asked do you feel you're now on your way and the belief is there? He said yep the belief is there. We're 5-5 so we just need to keep on improving and keep on playing with the same intensity week in week out.
* He was asked 'did you think you had lost it when the Saints came back and hit the front in the last quarter?' Robbie replied the old Richmond would have but we now feel we are still in the game no matter the position and can win.
* Robbie knew he was going to be asked about big Ivan so he asked Ivan how would you describe yourself. Big Ivan told him he describes himself as 'ethnic'
* He praised all our defenders - Rance, Grimes, Griffs, Houli, Newy, Morris, Dea, .... Griffs came in for Grimes and has done his role well. Morris is the hardest footy player he's ever played with.
* Of our mids his favourite is Cotch. Cotch is vice captain now so becoming our future captain will be a natural progression.
