FRIDAY night's 68-point loss to the Dogs might have been as bad as it gets far as turnovers go, but Nathan Foley could still find positives in the Richmond performance.

"The first half was as good as we have played for the year," Foley said post-match.

"Especially in the latter patch of that second quarter, we played some really solid football but it was a disappointing way to finish in that second half."

The Tigers led at half time but conceded 13 goals to two after the long break to end in disarray.

Ten of those 13 second-half goals came directly from turnovers, according to coach Terry Wallace.

But Foley's glass half-full attitude reflects the way he approaches the game every week.

Often when the Tigers are struggling, the rubbery Colac kid will charge in and win the next clearance at the centre bounce.

And he never seems to drop his head.

On Friday night he seemed unaffected by the week's off-field dramas with Wallace parting company with the club.

"It has been pretty much a constant that we have been in the papers and in the media during the year but internally we have stuck strong together," Foley said.

"The coaching group and Terry [Wallace] and the whole team together have stuck together and just worked on the things we can control."

Foley again led the way in the Richmond midfield on Friday night with 30 possessions and five clearances.

He is likely to find himself at the forefront of the plans of newly-announced caretaker coach Jade Rawlings for the remaining 11 weeks of the season.

But he says it will be business as usual

"I don't think it's the start of a new season, we'll be working towards the same sort of things," Foley said.

"First of all we'll look at what we did well tonight and work on it from there.

"Our game has been really patchy through the year. We haven't been able to put four quarters together.

"Our skills have let us down which has allowed them to kick easy goals."
