RICHMOND has departed for a six-day training camp on the Sunshine Coast, repeating the program that played a critical role in its 2017 premiership. 

The Tigers travelled to Queensland for a brutal training camp last pre-season, using that week-long trip to also launch the 'triple H' sessions that players have credited as a centrepiece of their success.

The triple H sessions saw players share life stories of their hardships, highlights and heroes, from January on the Sunshine Coast through to September.  

Football manager Neil Balme said the ground made during last year's camp had inspired the Tigers to repeat it as the pre-season moves into a new phase ahead of the JLT Community Series in five weeks.  

"They're virtually the same … it's one day shorter, but very similar in concept and idea," Balme told AFL.com.au. 

"We had a good experience there last year, so we thought we'd try it again.

"It's a nice place to go, but it's just to get them together for that whole period, so you can do some work in the evenings and the players get used to each other.

"There will be a reasonable element of that, working together and figuring out what our purpose is." 

The Tigers departed on Sunday and will return next Friday, holding training sessions in Mooloolaba and Maroochydore.

An open training session will be held at the Maroochydore Multisports Complex at 9.15am on Monday.
