« on: November 04, 2025, 09:10:20 PM »


51 points v Hawthorn, round five, 2003
48 points v Sydney, round 21, 1982
45 points v Collingwood, preliminary final, 1973
42 points v Brisbane, round 20, 2022
41 points v Hawthorn, round 21, 2005
41 points v Carlton, round one, 2025

The Tigers delivered their biggest comeback win in a clash against the Hawks in round five, 2003. Hawthorn had opened up a 51-point lead late in the second quarter before the Tigers' incredible comeback. Remarkably, Richmond kicked the next 14 goals and was in front in the third quarter. The Tigers led by 33 points before that run was ended. Wayne Campbell had 29 touches and kicked two goals. Their comeback victory over Carlton in round one, 2025, ranked as their equal fifth biggest.

Port Adelaide, 2005, Richo's 200th. Big fella took a lazy 17 marks.

Sydney, 2010. Collins with concussion and a bandaged head finished them off.

That Hawks game was a ripper. I was best man at a mates wedding. Got out of the car and we were 50 down.
By the time the ceremony was done, we were walking down the aisle out of the church and my mate says “We’re up!” as I walked past him  :lol
"The money might have been better. But, at the end of the day, Richmond showed faith in me. It's only fair that now we're 18th on the ladder, I show the faith back in the club and do everything I can to put them in front. In the end, I'm stoked I made the decision to stay. I f***ing love this club”
