Richmond opted to return to Sydney straight after Saturday nightâs win against Essendon, instead of spending the week in Perth, where they will play against West Coast next Sunday.
The Tigersâ Round 14 clash against the Eagles was brought forward by a week by the AFL with Melbourne still in lockdown due to Covid-19.
Richmond chose to make its players take two extra flights across the country so they could enjoy the more relaxed Covid-19 regulations put in place by the New South Wales Government, instead of being in full quarantine in Western Australia.
