Richmond skipper Trent Cotchin says the Tigers didn't have the required intensity at training in the lead-up to their disappointing loss to Collingwood.

The match was billed as a possible 'coming-of-age' moment for previously unbeaten Richmond had they won, but Cotchin told On The Couch on Monday night that their review revealed the team's preparation hadn't been up to scratch.

"It was a big build-up, we thought we were ready, (but) even looking back to our training we probably didn't have the standards that we'd had leading into other games during the season so far," Cotchin said.

"That was disappointing and that was something that we reviewed as a leadership group.

"During the game we just didn't feel like we controlled the game when we had opportunities to.

"You question whether we were exactly needed to be … that's just as a result of a loss – if we had have won we probably wouldn't have reviewed it in the same way.

"That's footy and we have learned our lessons.

"A lot of the key figures that we wanted to go into the game and dominate in we didn't, so it was a disappointing result for, not only us as a football club, but our fans as well."

Cotchin also said young Tiger Nick Vlastuin was doing everything right in the VFL and would get his opportunity at AFL level soon.
