A simple midweek gesture from star Richmond midfielder Dion Prestia might have ultimately proved the difference in the Tigers’ spectacular come-from-behind one-point win over Hawthorn on Saturday at the MCG.
Prestia took it upon himself to make sure the playing group practised tight finishes in match simulation, and that valuable session couldn’t have been more timely as only a few days later, Richmond fought back from six goals down to clinch a thrilling victory.
Further underscoring the competitive edge it may have given the Tigers is the fact that Hawthorn coach Sam Mitchell revealed post-match that his developing team doesn’t train for those tense scenarios just yet.
