How do the Tigers address the centre clearance issue, again?

The Tigers managed to turn around their centre clearance woes about this time last year, and it took them all the way to a third flag in four years. While they're nowhere near that level in 2021, stopping the opposition's easy waltz out of middle will go a long way to scraping into eighth spot and potentially pinching an elimination final win. Richmond was down 0-8 in the centre clearances at half-time against North Melbourne last round, and led by ruckman Toby Nankervis, noticeably lifted its tackle pressure in the middle after the main break, leading to a 53-point turnaround.
