Fifteen and Three: The Week-by-Week Making of a Premiership Favourite
Once a premiership is won, the season before it tends to flatten into a straight line. Richmond finished 1967 at 15–3, went into September as a major force and eventually broke a 24-year premiership drought. The record now looks like evidence that the Tigers had arrived.
But a season is not lived as a final ladder. It is lived round by round, with doubts, injuries, selection calls, form swings, opponents and moments that only later acquire meaning.
When did Richmond actually begin to look like a premiership favourite? Which wins changed the level of belief, which losses exposed unfinished work, and how different does 15–3 look when the final result is removed from the story?
