Richmond coach Damien Hardwick insists there was nothing sinister or serious about the Tigers' surprise call to place Dustin Martin on ice midway through ...
It was just in the heat of battle. Hardwick expects him to be available for the Collingwood clash. “We sort of haven’t had those bigger-bodied mids. Adelaide - Laird, Sholl, Fogarty, Dawson, Rachele, Walker. It’s something that’s been a little bit foreign to us but we’re getting better at it.” Best: Richmond - Hopper, Taranto, Balta, Prestia, D. We’re confident that he’ll play next week, but we’ll wait and see.” “We’ll wait till we get scans and work our way through that one. In the closing stages of that first quarter, Ryan juggled a clever mark and goaled with the second touch of his career to extend the Tigers’ advantage. He’s got a duty of responsibility - he knows that, and we understand that. We’ll work our way through those.” We’ll see how that pans out.

“Nathan Broad had a bad incident in the first quarter with Patrick Parnell. It cost them a sizeable lead and in the end, they lost the game.” Dunstall doubling down on the Crows’ poor kicking, saying “they had enough shots at goal” and cost them the game. “Nathan Broad knows he’ll be expecting weeks on the sideline after that. They had the same issue last week.” “If I’m Matthew Nicks in the Crows box I’m having a conniption right now,” Dunstall said on Fox Footy. “It’s an impressive start from the Tigers, the Crows find themselves in a deep hole. “It’s been great from the Tigers. “The might be dangerous. Absolutely criminal,” Dunstall said on Fox Footy. “This has been impressive by Richmond. “It all started with a turnover.

The Crows conceded six straight goals when Rory Laird went inside the forward 50 to set up a quality chance in the second quarter. The Tigers went bang, bang straight out of the centre bounce leading to Jack Riewoldt’s second of the game. Hopper was a dominant force in the first half of the game when the Tigers burst out to a 45-point lead. Parnell was left seeing stars after being on the wrong end of a heavy sling tackle from Broad midway through the first quarter. This week, his former Greater Western Sydney Giants teammate Jacob Hopper was outstanding for his new club. Parnell remained on the ground for a couple of minutes before he was assisted down the player’s race with the help of Crows trainers.

There is no doubt that when we compare our output as far as the ground cover and intensity and speed of it, we haven’t been up to the level of the first two teams we have played have. We need to get to round three versus Brisbane in absolutely the right headspace. A: I think you have to say the first two rounds we have been outworked. Q: Between now and then, do you try anything different or is it all systems go with the short break? That is a chance. We analyse and look at performance but ultimately, my drive is always to pick them up and pursue the improvements and the development in them. But credit to St Kilda, they as much as we believe we can definitely deliver a better performance, as you saw tonight, the Saints’ pressure game and their intensity levels never really wavered and they had a really good start to the year. Aspirational as I have said over the last short period, you come in with a belief that you can be there. We will facilitate that and look to bring it against Brisbane. We need to attack them and troubleshoot and problem solve. And believe that we can turn it around quickly. We realise we haven’t started the year as our supporters would expect.
