SEASON 27: Richmond Finished Last for Goal Assists. Who Is Setting the Table for the Next Goal?
We've just dropped another deep dive feature called SEASON 27: Richmond Finished Last for Goal Assists. Who Is Setting the Table for the Next Goal? on rtssg.com...
Richmond’s 2026 attack did not only finish last for goals. It also finished last for the actions immediately before goals — the passes, releases and decisions that make a teammate’s shot easier.
The question Tiger supporters should be asking is simple:
If Richmond wants to score more in 2027, who is actually setting the table for the next goal — and what must change before the final kick ever happens?
Because that's exactly what this feature examines.
Is the problem really the forward line? Which midfielders create advantage rather than just possession? What do Seth Campbell, Steely Green and Sam Lalor already tell us? And how should we know by mid-season whether Richmond’s goals are becoming repeatable rather than isolated moments?
In the article we break down: where the assist problem begins; what the 2026 numbers do and do not prove; the creators already on the list; midfield-to-forward connection; the small-forward squeeze; key-forward creation; Luke Breust’s development role; decision-making before the final disposal; what better attacks reveal; the 2027 proof standard; and who actually makes teammates better.
And that's only the start.
