Richmond’s players have sharpened their offensive efficiency at training this week, in preparation for this Sunday’s clash against Port Adelaide at Etihad Stadium.

The Tigers were disappointed with the quality of their ball movement and conversion inside 50 in last weekend’s win over Brisbane - areas they’ve identified as important if they are to challenge the third-placed Power.

“We kicked five goals in the first quarter (against Brisbane), and after quarter time I think we were a bit scrappy with our ball movement,” Richmond assistant coach Danny Daly told Roar Vision’s Spotlight on Round 17.

“In the second quarter we scored at 28 percent when we went inside 50, and 34 percent in the third quarter.

“Against the better sides, you’re not going to win when you have results like that.

“We only had six tackles inside 50 (last week), so we really need to pressure Port Adelaide and force as many tackles inside 50, and use the ball well inside 50.”

At the other end of the field, Richmond will be looking to curtail the influence of former Tiger Jay Schulz, who leads the Coleman Medal race with 48 goals, and is shooting at 81 percent efficiency.

Schulz has kicked 10 goals in his last three appearances against Richmond, and is likely to be minded by Alex Rance, who is playing his 100th AFL match.If we can hold him to one or two goals, it’s going to go a long way to us winning the game,” Daly said.
