RICHMOND'S Matthew Richardson was one of the catalysts for the Tigers' ultimately fruitless comeback against Geelong on Saturday.
The big man from Devonport was the Tigers' best player, finishing with 28 possessions, 14 marks and two goals alternating between the wing and the forward 50.
When he pushed forward in the third quarter he straightened Richmond up and the team kicked 8.2 to 3.2 to take a one-point lead into the final change, before eventually losing by 20 points.
Former Essendon midfielder Tom Hislop, of Burnie, made his debut in the yellow and black and finished with 10 possessions, four tackles and a goal, while King Island ruckman Angus Graham played his first game of the year and finished with nine touches.
Jack Riewoldt (ex-Clarence) had another quiet game up forward, finishing with just one goal from his 12 touches.
