Well done Richmond.

Whaaaaatttt?!?! 

Well that's what I get for not actually watching the match because I thought it would be boring. This will cause chaos in footy tipping.

On the plus side, my brother-in-law will be in an extremely good mood.

Funny old game hey?

The Tigers scored something like 11 of the last 12 goals

Just caught up on the Cats game. Was not watching at 2am  

Capitalised on a very poor Freo on the first half, 50 ahead at HT. Weathered a fight back in Q3 within 20 and then walloped them again in Q4 for a 147-69 win.

Solid all round.

Great impact by Bailey Smith to boot on his first Cats game. He was everywhere.

Saints away next week.

When a team loses after having a virtually unassailable lead at one point you'd have to question the cardio fitness of the players. It happened last year when the Lions coughed up a 49 point lead (paradoxically against Carlton) and the issue was promptly dealt with in training by Brisbane. I'd say that this was the case for Carlton when a young but fit Richmond side took them to the cleaners in the third quarter.

A record win for the Suns is not a bad way to start your season, hey @Holden  ?
