I’ve tried to keep a lid on it but it’s getting harder as the weeks go by.
The Tigers finished last season as the easy beats of the competition.
Enter Neil Balme, thank you Collingwood for giving Balme the boot and a reason to go back home to Tigerland.
Balme has given the Tigers a new direction and confidence from the coach down to the players and staff.
Richmond always had talent out on the field with Rance and Riewoldt as bookends and Cotchin and Martin leading in the middle.
But it all needed massaging and a direction.
Again, thank you Collingwood.
Seeing Richmond not stuff around with the ball last night in front of 85,000 was a joy to watch.
Quick ball movement, long inside 50’s and a rampaging Jack Riewoldt booting six playing closer to goal.
The Tigers were very economical last night when at times they were being outplayed by Melbourne.
5-0 start to the season is the best opening for 22 years.
Let me assure you everyone is calm at Tigerland, for we never get ahead of ourselves.
But it’s worth a thought that the yellow and black could now go through the season undefeated.
It’s Tiger Time.
You know I’m talking sense.
I’m KB, that’s my take.
