Richmond does neither. <\/p>\n<p>Have Tigers taken a step foward at all? | 03:42<\/p>\n<p>Triple premiership Tigers forward Jack Riewoldt believes the current circumstances are dire for his former club. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think patience is starting to wear thin with the supporters of Richmond,\u201d he told Fox Footy\u2019s On the Couch. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey bounced (last year), had five wins, and I think there were high expectations \u2014 people were talking about them maybe getting to 10th. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019ve got a young list, but the caveat is that a lot of those young players have been injured. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut at the moment, they haven\u2019t improved at all under Adem Yze, in any facet of their game, which is really disappointing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Highly-touted 2024 picks Josh Smillie, Taj Hotton, Harry Armstrong, Tom Sims and Jasper Alger remain some way away from senior football, while Rhyan Mansell and Judson Clarke still don\u2019t have timelines for returns. <\/p>\n<p>Riewoldt added: \u201cAnd yes, he doesn\u2019t have the cattle out there that he\u2019d love to have, he\u2019s got older players injured as well, but I look at offensively, defensively and (at) contest on the weekend, and I don\u2019t think they\u2019ve taken a step forward under Yze.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So far this year, Richmond ranks dead-last in the competition for chain-to-score, defensive 50 to inside-50, and score-per-inside-50. <\/p>\n<p>In other words, the Tigers are the worst side at moving the footy. And on the occasions that they do get it inside their forward 50, they\u2019re still not able to convert at an acceptable rate. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo one rates worse, unfortunately,\u201d Riewoldt continued. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou want to go to the footy, when you\u2019re in a rebuild, and I think many thought this was going to be a quick rebuild \u2014 with the draft picks that they loaded up on \u2014 but this is going to turn out to be a slow rebuild.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Tigers are the only winless team, though they\u2019ve played three likely finalists &#8211; a much tougher draw than fellow 2025 bottom four sides West Coast or North Melbourne.

You have to be a side that generates ball movement \u2026 at the moment, just not seeing enough generated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>North Melbourne this Sunday looms as a tough matchup, particularly as the Tigers haven\u2019t beaten the Roos at Marvel Stadium since the naming rights still belonged to Etihad. <\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ll give themselves a chance against West Coast, though that\u2019s in Perth. Dreamtime against Essendon is winnable, but even the Bombers have shown signs of life. <\/p>\n<p>It feels as though until Lynch is right to return, scoring will continue to be a considerable struggle.<\/p>\n<p>Essendon President&#8217;s bizarre move? | 01:32<\/p>\n<p>RISING COACH SET FOR MEGA PAYDAY AS TASSIE LOOMS&#8230; SO HAS HE EARNED IT?<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s been plenty of chatter around stars using Tasmania and rival clubs in general as leverage to beef up their impending new contracts. But a coach? <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the situation Sam Mitchell finds himself in as one of the most valuable assets in the game as he prepares to ramp up talks with Hawthorn for a new deal beyond 2027.<\/p>\n<p>And it could help him earn a staggering new payday north of $1 million per season.<\/p>\n<p>Hawthorn legend and great mate Shane Crawford recently endorsed Mitchell as a target for Tasmania in a potential cryptic message to the Hawks to lock their coach away.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think Hawthorn can very much read the signals there,\u201d Herald Sun reporter Jon Ralph said on Fox Footy\u2019s On the Couch.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re aware Sam would like a contract, and they\u2019d love to keep him.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Even Jack Ginnivan cheekily suggested he\u2019d re-sign with the club when Mitchell does.<\/p>\n<p>Hard to recall when a coach, who has yet to drive a club to the ultimate success, has had so much pull or been held in such high esteem. <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not a knock on Mitchell, by the way. He\u2019s doing big things for the 4-1 Hawks, who are playing as well as any team in the competition right now, ahead of a showdown with Port Adelaide.<\/p>\n<p>And he\u2019s going to be well compensated for it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Shining light&#8217; at Dons a Tassie target? | 02:12<\/p>\n<p>Mitchell recently switched management groups to Bravo Talent to \u201cmaximise commercial opportunities,\u201d according to Ralph. <\/p>\n<p>His new deal could make him one of the highest-paid coaches in the game as clubs can now pay senior coaches 20 per cent of their wage outside the AFL soft cap, which has gone up $1.1 million to $9 million in total.<\/p>\n<p>Senior coaches can also earn $100,000 in commercial deals, like Chris Scott\u2019s sponsorship with Morris Finance.<\/p>\n<p>Put it all together, and coaches could now earn up to $1.5 million, but only $1.1 million of that inside the soft cap.<\/p>\n<p>The average senior coach is paid up to $900,000, whereas premiership coaches can earn as much as $1.2 million.<\/p>\n<p>So does Mitchell, without a flag to his name, deserve to be one of the highest-paid coaches in the game? <\/p>\n<p>\u201cNormally, coaches that win a premiership probably end up getting $1 million plus,\u201d coaching great Leigh Matthews said on On the Couch.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s supply and demand, let\u2019s face it. And how well you can negotiate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSam hasn\u2019t won a premiership yet or gotten to a grand final &#8230; the ones getting $1.2-$1.3 million are usually the guys who have won a premiership.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Leigh doubts HUGE Butters price tag | 02:30<\/p>\n<p>IS THE KANGAROOS\u2019 DEFENCE ACTUALLY&#8230; GOOD?<\/p>\n<p>There are very few guarantees in footy, but for the last few years, there was a dead certainty &#8211; North Melbourne\u2019s defence was bad.<\/p>\n<p>No matter who was coaching, the Kangaroos couldn\u2019t stop anybody, conceding the most points in the AFL in 2021, 2022 and 2024 plus the second-most points in 2020, 2023 and 2025.<\/p>\n<p>But while it\u2019s early in 2026 &#8211; and their easy early-season fixture skews things a little bit &#8211; there are finally signs of improvement in that crucial area.<\/p>\n<p>Having thus far conceded fewer points than two of the premiership favourites Brisbane and Hawthorn, it\u2019s the underlying numbers that really suggest the Kangaroos\u2019 defence has improved, according to St Kilda champion Leigh Montagna.<\/p>\n<p>And it was actually in defeat, rather than in one of their three wins, where they impressed the Fox Footy analyst.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know it (their defence) has been poor for so long. But I thought even though they lost to the Brisbane Lions, they took a step forwards,\u201d Montagna said on First Crack Preview.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust watching the way they\u2019re playing now. There was talk about the change in their defensive system over the summer, and they said publicly we\u2019re gonna go back to playing more 1 v 1, and there were some raised eyebrows saying hey, is that a bit old school? Will that work?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut it\u2019s been impressive the way North Melbourne have gone about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Embarrassing!&#8217; Gaz on juror in transit | 02:45<\/p>\n<p>In the most critical area of scoring, from turnover, the Kangaroos were dead-last in all of the 2022-24 season and still a woeful 16th in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>But through five games this year, they sit 6th in the AFL. And they have taken similar leaps from worst to the top third of the ladder in scores per inside 50, and in pressure rating where they\u2019re all the way up in second.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlaying 1 v 1 actually now allows them to get after the opposition and pressure,\u201d Montagna said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause in the past they were playing the zone-style team defence where they would come forward &#8211; and how many times did we see other teams go overlap, overlap and walk in goal?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kangaroos points against from turnover rank<\/p>\n<p>2022: 18th<\/p>\n<p>2023: 18th<\/p>\n<p>2024: 18th<\/p>\n<p>2025: 16th<\/p>\n<p>2026 so far: 6th<\/p>\n<p>Kangaroos opposition scores per inside 50 rank<\/p>\n<p>2022: 17th<\/p>\n<p>2023: 17th<\/p>\n<p>2024: 18th<\/p>\n<p>2025: 17th<\/p>\n<p>2026 so far: 7th<\/p>\n<p>Kangaroos pressure rank<\/p>\n<p>2022: 17th<\/p>\n<p>2023: 16th<\/p>\n<p>2024: 13th<\/p>\n<p>2025: 11th<\/p>\n<p>2026 so far: 2nd<\/p>\n<p>Against the reigning premiers, the style worked a treat with Brisbane restrained to just 72 uncontested marks &#8211; their fifth-lowest total over the last couple of seasons &#8211; as the Kangaroos permitted very few easy options.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can just see there has been a system change, and of course they\u2019re not the finished product, they\u2019re gonna have days where it looks really bad and they\u2019re gonna get beaten,\u201d Montagna said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut at least there\u2019s something they can work off, and just test themselves against the best. I thought it was a great indication they are making the progress we know they needed to make.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prince Harry pays a visit to the Dogs | 00:51<\/p>\n<p>SWANS ARE \u2018KINGS OF CHAOS\u2019&#8230; AND THEY\u2019VE GOT A NEW X-FACTOR<\/p>\n<p>Sydney is currently playing the game like no other. <\/p>\n<p>Thriving in high-pressure contests and cashing in off turnover, the Swans \u2014 who just palmed off the flag-contending Suns \u2014 are playing a finals-tested brand of footy in April. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just think they\u2019ve become the kings of chaos,\u201d dual flag-winner David King said on Fox Footy\u2019s First Crack Preview. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe game doesn\u2019t live in control when the Swans are playing. They don\u2019t let you uncontested mark, and they don\u2019t really take a lot of uncontested marks themselves. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, if you just look at the basic numbers, Sydney games have the fewest marks in them, and I think it\u2019s become a real feature of why these games are watchable, because there are so many times the ball changes hands, bobbling around, pressure, all those sorts of things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thus far in 2026, the Swans have applied the third-most pressure to the opposition in the competition, but receive the second-least. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I think \u2018how does that look?\u2019 \u2026 In the end, if you can\u2019t punish, you can\u2019t play in 2026,\u201d King continued. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd what they\u2019ve been able to do with possession in hand to get it on the scoreboard is the best of any team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This season, the Swans have scored 92 points per 100 turnovers. For context, the AFL average is 74. <\/p>\n<p>On the flipside, they\u2019re allowing just 52 points per 100 turnovers. So, they can do it either way. <\/p>\n<p>Showing vision from last Saturday\u2019s statement victory over Gold Coast, King explained why the Swans could be outnumbered at a contest but still win possession due to their desire to apply serious pressure. <\/p>\n<p>Swans are the kings of chaos | 03:15<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re extreme on offence and extreme on defence,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is finals footy \u2026 Swans are outnumbered 10 to six, but because they want to hunt, they want to tackle, and their desire is to put pressure on, they can survive like this. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is why I love it. Because they\u2019ve prioritised the cream, not necessarily the contest. They\u2019ll back lesser numbers on occasion \u2026 I love what they\u2019re doing, and it\u2019s a little bit different to watch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And, zeroing in on individual performance, the Swans could have an x-factor when Errol Gulden eventually returns from injury. <\/p>\n<p>Dual All-Australian Leigh Montagna flagged several weeks ago that Justin McInerney could be the man to step up and fill Gulden\u2019s void between the arcs, and the Saints great has been validated. <\/p>\n<p>This year, McInerney ranks second in the entire competition for damage via ball use \u2014 a Champion Data metric measuring players\u2019 impact with ball in hand. <\/p>\n<p>At fourth is superstar Isaac Heeney, while Chad Warner (12th), Nick Blakey (18th) and Riley Bice (23rd) all rank within the AFL\u2019s top 25. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think this is a really good indicator of why you put McInerney on the radar weeks ago \u2014 and the numbers are still stacking up,\u201d King said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt wasn\u2019t just a brief period of form, this is something they can really look at when Errol Gulden comes back, how they use this guy, and (whether) they maintain the status quo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McInerney also tops the AFL charts for total score involvements, with Brodie Grundy sitting fourth, and Warner and Tom Papley ranking equal-fifth. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think they\u2019re in really good working order, because it doesn\u2019t necessarily revolve around or rely on one man.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ROUND 6 FIXTURE AND FOX FOOTY COMMENTATORS<\/p>\n<p>CARLTON v
