THE expectation about Richmond breaking its finals hoodoo was raised again yesterday with coach Damien Hardwick telling the club's faithful it was time to feature in September.
Speaking at the club's family day, Hardwick said it was an "exciting time'' to be a Tigers fan.
"We can look forward to the start of our 2013 campaign with renewed vigour,'" he said.
"We certainly think we're a chance to go where we haven't gone for some 12 or 13 years prior, and we look forward to giving you the opportunity to participate in September."'
Richmond's last finals appearance was in 2001; a preliminary final loss to eventual premier Brisbane.
Midfielder Reece Conca said the players were not concerned about the growing expectation.
"There's a good vibe around, so we're sort of feeding off that and it's really good,'' he said.
"We've built a pretty solid team, especially through the midfield, but we've got some solid depth across the field.
"We're all excited and happy to be out there together."
The Tigers defeated Melbourne but lost to North Melbourne in the opening round of the NAB Cup on Friday night.
"The team went really well and we're looking to build from that and bring some good form into the season, and get some wins on the board,'' Conca said.
The Tigers travel to Wangaratta to play Essendon in Round 2 of the NAB Cup on Saturday night.
