Tiger Christmas wishlist according to Foxsports and SEN:
RICHMONDChristmas wishlist: A trampoline … for a quick bounceIt’d take a brave pundit to back against Richmond rebounding in 2022 – the question is how far back up the ladder Damien Hardwick can get them. The Tigers will be bolstered by a full pre-season for the first time in a long time, while Ivan Soldo should return at some stage in the season to offer some more structural integrity to the side. Dustin Martin will hopefully be back on the field and ready to fire and veteran Robbie Tarrant’s arrival from North Melbourne will bolster the key defensive stocks – there’s no reason why the Tigers shouldn’t launch back up the ladder. It’s a question of how big the rebound is … Tigers fans will be hoping it’s seismic.

A fair crack with injuriesThe Tigers copped a fairly raw deal in 2021 on the injury front.
It eventually became too much to handle and denied them any chance of getting anywhere near an unlikely three-peat.
The list profile is in good shape and should still have the club around the mark in terms of a finals assault, but they will need luck in the medical room.
If Richmond gets bulk games out of the likes of Dustin Martin, Dion Prestia, Shane Edwards, Kane Lambert, Nick Vlastuin, Toby Nankervis, Noah Balta and Nathan Broad, then they could have a serious say in 2022.
