Do the Tigers have a depth issue? Leppitsch outlines their great challenge

Former Richmond assistant coach Justin Leppitsch says the clubâs lack of senior depth could pose problems as the season unfolds.
Last yearâs premiers are currently at three wins from six games to start the season, after losing three of their last four games.
As a result of their success-laden stint in recent years, fringe players such as such as Oleg Markov, Dan Butler, Brandon Ellis and Jack Higgins have departed in search of more minutes at AFL level.
Leppitsch has observed that the club was struggling to replace injured players like Dion Prestia (calf), Nick Vlastuin (knee) and Dylan Grimes (ankle), saying Damien Hardwick had the challenge of filling holes without the depth players theyâre accustomed to.
