Prediction
This year is interesting for the yellow and black army.
Richmond will look to balance between giving its older stars one more chance to win the big one again while also ensuring their youth get plenty of opportunity.
Combining those two elements, and throwing in the return of Martin, the Tigers should improve from 2021.
With star players entering or in their twilight years, along with strong midfield and overall depth, Richmond will return to the finals frame.
Predicted position: 5th
