Richmond plays the same way Freo in the 2012-2015 years played. They put heaps of pressure on the ball, and out work their opponent. The go harder for longer, and have more continuity with the core of their team.
The difference to those Freo teams is Richmond have a bit more talent forward (Reiwoldt, Dusty, Caddy, Rioli), only travel 5 games a season, play the finals at their home ground and there’s no Hawthorn super-team in the way.
You might think the game has gone by Lyon, he’s probably thinking Richmond just caught up to him.
