Why there is a sense of familiarity about Richmondâs season By The 2021 season, so far, hasnât panned out perfectly for the Richmond Football Club. There has been a smattering of off-field incidents, a few cups of apparent hubris, a teaspoon or two of âwhingingâ, a dose of injury, and a sprinkle of subpar form. But that would be a pessimistâs view. There has also been a tablespoon of youth development and just a few ounces of previous premiership form. When it comes to the Tigers, it is seldom a five-star work of art that feeds the masses, yet a rustic combination of chaos, system and sacrifice that draws the crowds and gets the results.
