Last year’s Dreamtime game produced a playing style by Richmond that frustrated both Tiger fans and coach alike.
The Tigers spent much of the match chipping the ball around and seemingly hesitant to take the game on.
They were on the back foot for virtually the entire contest and that conservative attitude led to a 29-point loss.

Richmond coach Damien Hardwick is fully aware that the Tigers are a much better side when they adopt a bold approach and take risks.
“We look back at that game (2013 Dreamtime) and we tended to go sideways way too much, really,” Hardwick said.
“It’s probably something we’ve rectified over the course of the last three weeks.
“Our ball movement, overall, has improved . . . we just probably haven’t been scoring.
“Fortunately, that sort of rectified itself versus the GWS on the weekend (with Richmond scoring 24.10).
"We’re looking forward to making sure we continue our positive play, taking the game on.
“We know that’s when we play our best footy, and we look forward to taking it into this week’s game versus the Bombers.”
