What Can Richmond Learn From the Teams Still Playing in September?
The full RTSSG member feature, What Did Richmond Learn From the Teams Still Playing — And What Football Is It Not Yet Capable of Producing?, is available to members here.
Richmond can watch September and find almost any tactical idea it wants. The teams still playing do not all win the same way, use the ball the same way or defend the same way.
That is why the full RTSSG feature asks something more useful than which game plan Adem Yze should copy.
What do the surviving teams make possible that Richmond could not sustain in 2026? When one action succeeds, what does it do to the next one? When an action fails, how much of the team structure survives?
Is a clearance useful because it is counted, or because it improves the next possession? Does an intercept matter if there is nowhere safe to go? What separates a forward entry that creates another Richmond opportunity from one that immediately becomes an opposition transition?
September gives Richmond evidence, but not a template. What does that evidence say about the football Richmond must become capable of producing before style itself means very much?
