Richmond plans to take a bold approach into this Saturday’s blockbuster clash with Collingwood at the MCG.

The Tigers haven’t beaten the Magpies since 2007, and their average losing margin against them since then has been 10 goals.

Captain Trent Cotchin believes it’s imperative the Tiger players enter the game in the right frame of mind.

“I think we need to attack it with attitude.   We need to have the confidence in the guys that we put on the park in comparison to their guys,” Cotchin said on 3AW.

“They’ve probably got a little bit more experience, but I suppose if you fear them then you’re only going to be second to the ball.

“We’re just going to go in head first and have a crack.

“Obviously they’ve got some amazing talent around the footy, but also up forward, and their backline is very solid as well.

“So, the challenge is there for us as a midfield group.

“A lot of people are talking about us, but we’ve just got to make sure that we don’t play like we did against the Saints, more so like we did against the Bulldogs.

“We just have to make sure the consistency stays there and we produce some good footy.”
