Defending premiers Richmond - winless since the resumption of the season and with only one triumph in four games - are in a desperate fight to rescue their 2020 campaign, according to coach Damien Hardwick.

, and Hardwick has put the onus on his usually "better performing" senior players to lead and arrest their slide in this compressed season before it gets too late.

"Absolutely. Absolutely it is," Hardwick said when asked if it was desperate stakes yet. "The season is short and we understand that. Every win is incredibly valuable, especially early in the season. We have got to start getting some 'Ws' in our column."Credit:The Tigers now face a five day break before they play West Coast at the Gold Coast hub in round five. The short turnaround is a positive, he believes.

"We have been in this situation before. We have dug ourselves out of it, but we have got some work to do. We are certainly well off the pace." Richmond were hurt badly by ill disciplined acts from Nick Vlastuin and David Astbury that led directly to goals at crucial stages of the game. "It was really disappointing, especially the things we can control," Hardwick said. "We will deal with that this week but they're the things that are incredibly disappointing - work incredibly hard to get yourself back in the game and then give away two cheap goals in the third. We got to get better.

Govt's 'hands off' approach will undoubtedly lead to 'scaled-back Virgin Australia' | Sky News AustraliaShadow Transport Minister Catherine King says the government's 'hands off' approach will undoubtedly lead to 'scaled-back Virgin Australia'. \n\nPrivate equity fund Bain Capital is set to be the airline’s new owner after New York hedge fund Cyrus Capital Partners withdrew its offer. \n\nBain Capital said it was prepared to honour the $450 million of entitlements owed to workers once it took control. \n\nDespite this guarantee, Ms King told Sky News Virgin jobs and regional routes would inevitably be lost. \n\n“That’s an outcome that’s incredibly disappointing from the public’s point of view,' she said. \n\n“Loss of routes, particularly in regional Queensland, will be absolutely devastating for tourism and I think that’s what we’re going to see, a much scaled-back Virgin.” \n\nShe said Labor encouraged the Morrison government to take an equity stake in Virgin and prevent it entering administration. \n\n“But the government’s obviously decided to take a very hands-off approach and this is the result,” she said. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia \n CatherineKingMP and rightly so CatherineKingMP Great to see the AustralianLabor jumping on the rhetoric bandwagon again this morning. The constant dribble from these Muppets and their Union Buddies is becoming boring. They really need someone to give them some retraining and fresh rehtoric to spread. It's embarrassing. CatherineKingMP And what should they be, what they were before?
