Records* Richmond's first quarter score of 9.2 was the highest by them in that term since Round 9, 1981 v St Kilda at Waverley, when they kicked 11.5 en route to a 31-point win that day (Kevin Bartlett four goals and Michael Roach four goals).
* Their half-time lead of 84 points was the biggest since Round 2, 1931 v North Melbourne at Punt Road. That day, they led North by 97 points at the main break – 17.9 (111) to 0.4 (4) – and went on to win by a whopping 168 points (still a Club record). A 17-year-old lad by the name of Jack Dyer debuted for Richmond in that match, while an 18-year-old, in just his second senior appearance with the Tigers – Doug Strang – booted 14 goals, which remains a Club record 88 years on.
* Their half-time score of 16.7 (103) was the third highest in the Club’s league football history behind the 17.9 (111) of 1931.
* They registered 100 points in an opening half for the first time since Round 9, 1980 v Melbourne at the MCG. That day, it was 16.8 (104) v 5.6 (36) at half-time, with the final margin being 93 points in the Tigers’ favour (captain Bruce Monteath eight goals, David Cloke five goals and Kevin Bartlett four goals).
* That first-term score of 9.2 was their best in any quarter this season.
* Richmond’s final score of 23.12 (150) v Gold Coast is the highest by any AFL team this season, eclipsing Fremantle’s 21.15 (141) in the opening round against North Melbourne at Optus Stadium.
* And the Tigers’ winning margin of 92 points is just one short of Greater Western Sydney’s season-high of 93 against Carlton in Round 9 at Giants Stadium.
