Loser: The Richmond Football Club

It was deja vu all over again for the Richmond Tigers, as I have included the entire footy club in this section of the article. Head coach Damian Hardwick lambasted his side for their 70 post loss to the Hawks, with not even Dustin Martin safe after his 39 touches.

The under fire Hardwick thought the Brownlow Medal contender “handpassed too much” and “put his team under pressure”. One wonders if anyone dressed in black and yellow can do anything to impress anyone in 2016.
