Frustrated Richmond coach Adem Yze expected his players to have a \u201cbad taste in our mouth\u201d following yet another thumping loss on Friday night at the MCG<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Melbourne became the latest side to fill their boots against the last-placed Tigers, winning by nine goals to ensure winless Richmond\u2019s average losing margin this year is 51 points.<\/p>\n

Adding salt to the wound for Yze was the fact that the Tigers were actually very competitive for the first three quarters and found themselves trailing by only 11 points midway through the third term before capitulating and coughing up seven consecutive goals in what was a \u201cdeflating\u201d showing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re disappointed. We don\u2019t want to expect to not play a four-quarter performance,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll take the positives out of the first three, but we\u2019re a winning footy club, we\u2019re not a losing footy club.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not going to be happy with a competitive performance and our Tiger Army expect more.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere just were things in the last quarter that just weren\u2019t good enough.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe last quarter was just a blowout \u2026 to lose the last quarter by 20 contested possessions; inside 50s \u2013 we have eight for the quarter to 15.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adding to Yze\u2019s frustrations was his team on the wrong end of multiple umpiring decisions and non-decisions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe try and tackle and you\u2019d love to get rewarded for tackling,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt like we didn\u2019t get rewarded for a few of them and then we got punished for others, so you\u2019re going to get the rough end of the stick in certain games, but you just want to get rewarded for pressure.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re a pressure team, we expect our players to put pressure on the opposition.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pickett helps Demons surge past Tigers | 02:39<\/p>\n

The result continued Richmond\u2019s worst start to a season in 16 years and they\u2019re now riding a 12-game losing streak, which is their longest since 2010 (13).<\/p>\n

The Tigers have also lost 47 of their past 54 matches, but Yze remained confident that things could turn around quickly for them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe get \u2018Lynchy\u2019 (Tom Lynch) back in for one game and I felt like our scores per entry were almost as good as theirs,\u201d Yze said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll get some troops back next week. Tim Taranto\u2019s our best midfielder that didn\u2019t play this week, so that\u2019ll help us sustain it for longer.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got so many young players like Sam Cumming and Sam Grlj and Tommy Burton getting his first game, Patty Retschko\u2019s playing his second game.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll be better for it. These young guys are getting exposure earlier than what they probably should.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo when we start getting some troops back, we feel like that will start to even out.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Toby Nankervis (hamstring), Rhyan Mansell (foot) and Maurice Rioli (hamstring) remain unavailable for the foreseeable future as Richmond\u2019s official injury list still contains 10 players all up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Frustrated Richmond coach Adem Yze expected his players to have a \u201cbad taste in our mouth\u201d following yet…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":630589,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,44,85,41,39,42,40],"class_list":["post-630588","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-sports","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/630588","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=630588"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/630588\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/630589"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=630588"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=630588"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=630588"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
