In all honesty, that was a pathetic game.if it wasn't for dusty and Bolton we would have been smashed.
Signs are not good for us

I wouldn't stress. They were doing enough to win but clearly not busting a gut.

Only a handful looked desperate to win for Jack and Cotch which as expected was Dusty of course, then Bolton and Soldo etc.

Real fizzer

Still, not the right attitude. Much to stress about

Under 60k to see off 2 of our greatest ever players was a pretty pathetic effort from the "Tiger Army" and self-proclaimed "most passionate fan base in the league".......

[Tiger Khosh]

To be fair 59k of them were Richmond supporters.

Where's the goals from free kick stats bloody hell that Larkey got looked after.

I hope he's cited for staging.

They should implement actual suspensions for it because fines don't do anything.

[Francois Jackson]

It was disgusting and I told that umpire he was cheat as he ran past the fence.

I don't blame Larkey I blame the umpire.

took me a while to identify who he was

[Diocletian]

Bit of concern that Bolton & Martin basically dominated the game yet we still only beat the wooden spooners by 5 goals...

We were 3 men down with Pickett being terrible and Jack/Cotch looking absolutely finished.

If we had played 3 other blokes we probably would have done better IMO especially if the season wasn't over.

RICHMOND

The Tigers sent off Trent Cotchin and Jack Riewoldt in style, defeating a spirited North Melbourne side by kicking away in the final quarter. Finals are no longer on the agenda for Richmond but the side still put on a good show, with a seven-goal surge in the second quarter setting the stage for the win. There’s more interest now in what will come next rather than what will happen next week, but it was the perfect day for the club’s retiring champions.

In the votes

Dustin Martin turned it on for his premiership teammates’ farewell, finishing with a team-high 31 disposals to go with three goals. Shai Bolton also hit the scoreboard with four majors, while Toby Nankervis was huge in the ruck. Jacob Hopper and Tim Taranto had some good moments.

Room for improvement

They were beaten at centre clearance despite the Roos losing Luke Davies-Uniacke before the opening bounce. Accuracy in front of goal was also lacking, with the side finishing on 14.17. Ultimately though, it was a win for the Tigers in Cotchin and Riewoldt’s final game, which is all that matters.

Grade

A
