Richmond coach Adem Yze is hopeful his young Tigers side can deliver a positive performance against the fourth-placed Adelaide Crows this Sunday.

Adelaide has one of the AFL's most potent and high-scoring attacks, but Yze explained how there's more to the Crows than just attacking flair.

“I think most teams in the top four are good at scoring, but within that is the contest,” Yze said.

“They are top four in most of the metrics that we want to be good at, around contest, clearance and post clearance possession.

“They are going to test us in different ways, but we understand what’s coming.

“They are coming off a bye, so hopefully we can put on a really good show, and more importantly, play the way I know we can play.”

Richmond’s young group has shown glimpses of brilliance this season, however, Yze said the test lies in putting it all together for four quarters of football.

“We might have fluctuation from week to week, but what we are trying to do is make sure that we don’t have those from quarter to quarter," Yze said.

“We have worked on that and reviewed it, not only the technical and the tactical, but what (it does) to us mentally.

“When we do lose momentum, how can we minimise it? We have worked on it now, hopefully we can go and implement it.”

The Tigers have won four of the past five match-ups against the Crows and Yze is looking forward to the strong support the Tiger Army is sure to provide on Sunday at the 'G.

“The Tiger Army have come out in numbers throughout the season for us and I hope they are as excited as we are for our younger players,” Yze said.

“Throughout this whole journey, we are always going to look for green shoots and the growth of our younger players.

"This week will be no different. We will have some younger players playing on some really talented players and an opportunity to play against a top-four team at our ground, and we can’t wait to test ourselves against them.”
