AFL: Richmond Tigers coach Adam Yze reviews a 119-point mauling at the hands of the Brisbane Lions in round 10.
An AFL analyst has savaged Dustin Martin’s form, declaring the Richmond champion is playing “soft footy” and “wouldn’t have had a bruise on his body on Saturday night”.

And let’s go to the stars,” he said on RSN 927’s Racing Pulse. Meanwhile the significance of the 20th Dreamtime game is enough for Daniel Rioli to shut-out the “negativity” around Richmond and talk of his own future, which he says isn’t on the table, as he and the Tigers try to muster the energy needed to compete with red-hot Essendon on Saturday night.
“Obviously, I’m a young leader myself, I’ve been in the system for nine years now, so I’m just trying to play happy footy, which I’m trying to do. Maurice Rioli junior, who helped design the special indigenous jumpers Richmond will wear at the MCG is among the 17 players on Richmond’s injury list increasing the need for more “soldiers” to try and lift a team which was thumped by 119 points last Saturday.Despite the doom and gloom around the Tigers, Rioli tried to take the pressure off Yze too and said the players wouldn’t just roll over.
“We are not coming out on Saturday expecting to lose. We had our review of the Lions game on Monday, and pushed that aside now, all the negative noise we have been facing this year, and hopefully we can turn the tables.”
