2010 starts just like 2009

Well Well Well...
For those Richmond fans who sat down on Saturday night to watch the Tigers in their first hit out of the 2010 season "we salute you".

It seems the more that changes at Tigerland the more that stays the same, The Tigers trailed by over 100 points before the Hawks took the foot of the pedal and allowed Richmond to kick a few goals in the last quarter.

We figured former Hawthorn assistant and now Richmond head coach Hardwick faced a huge task, both to instill a tougher defensive mindset in his young squad and to eradicate the regular costly skill errors but I am not sure if any of us thought the task would be this huge.

The Tigers are now $3.50 favourites to take out the Wooden Spoon on our own sports book sponsors web site Luxbet.

Here are some other Richmond fun facts:
• To Win the Premiership : $126
• To Win the Minor Premiership : $251
• To Make the Top Eight : $6
• To Make the Grand Final : $46

Last night just to add the cherry on top draftee Ben Nason's right knee buckled underneath him late in the first half, while Adam Thomson was knocked out in a marking contest early in the second.

See you all next week.
