Richmond stamped its credentials as a top-four contender when it smashed Greater Western Sydney in the wet after quarter time.
Our Inside Football experts take a look at the individual performances of each player...
RICHMOND – 9.10 (64)
David ASTBURY – 5
Defender had a few shaky moments early but then settled into the game. Did his bit without starring.
Nathan BROAD – 6
Looked awkward at times playing lock down role in defence on Greene. Kept him to one goal which is a fair effort.
Dan BUTLER – 3
Youngster couldn’t get into the game at all. No goals, two inside-50s and two tackles.
Josh CADDY – 4
Another game where he teased but ultimately failed to deliver anything meaningful; 14 possessions.
Jason CASTAGNA – 4
Slippery half forward sealed the win with a goal in final term. Apart from that was only a bit player.
Trent COTCHIN – 7
Skipper put his head in the hole enough to be a factor. Not clean given conditions but was able to scrap his way to 27 disposals.
Shane EDWARDS – 4
Missed some chances for goal in second term and another in the third. Only 12 possessions and three tackles.
Brandon ELLIS – 6
Won plenty of the pill from a wing (23 possessions) and was running hard all day to give the side an option.
Corey ELLIS – 5
Youngster played down back and worked into the game pretty well. Able to showcase his speed at times.
Shaun GRIGG – 7
Got plenty of the sherrin (21 touches) and added five inside-50s and five tackles. Did his bit all day.
Dylan GRIMES – 4
Not asked to do too much in what was a quiet one for the rangy defender; 11 disposals.
Kane LAMBERT – 6
Jagged a nice snap goal late in second quarter and provided some run because he was able to find some space.
Dustin MARTIN – 8
Got going in second term after a quiet opening to be a factor in getting side back into the game; 31 disposals, 11 clearances.
Kamdyn MCINTOSH – 5
Half-back/wingman was handy. Missed a sitter in third term then nailed a set-shot from same spot two minutes later.
Toby NANKERVIS – 6
Rucked against Mumford and held his own. Kicked a great snap goal in third term that helped keep foot on throat of Giants.
Dion PRESTIA – 6
Won the ball pretty well but again his disposal was questionable. Five inside-50s and three clearances.
Alex RANCE – 7
Had a variety of opponents including Johnson but was still able to find a way to get in the way of the Giants all day.
Jack RIEWOLDT – 5
One goal in second term and another in third but was well beaten on the day by Davis.
Daniel RIOLI – 3
Got side going with team’s opening goal in second term. Not really great conditions for a player still very light on.
Jayden SHORT – 3
Small defender was hardly sighted. Just seven possessions and three inside-50s.
Ivan SOLDO – 2
Slippery conditions didn’t suit. Competed hard but very little impact on the flow of the game. Four disposals and 13 hit-outs.
Nick VLASTUIN – 8
Played loose role in defence at times and was brilliant at that; 11 marks, 21 disposals and among Tigers’ best.
GWS GIANTS – 6.9 (45)
Aidan CORR – 5
Tall defender battled hard. Helped by wet conditions but certainly not the worst.
Phil DAVIS – 8
Put Riewoldt to bed, tucked him and then left the room and flicked the switch on the way out. Close to Giant’s best.
Toby GREENE – 3
As much as he’s a good player he’s equally undisciplined and it reared its head again. After early goal that was about it.
Nick HAYNES – 5
Rebounding defender okay early then went forward in second half to play a role on Rance. Kicked one goal.
Steve JOHNSON – 3
Veteran forward struggled to find space and looked a yard off the pace. Only kicked 13 goals from 13 games this year.
Josh KELLY – 7
Playmaker worked hard to grab 23 possessions, including five inside-50s and ix tackles. Solid effort.
Matthew KENNEDY – 4
Played midfield for a long periods and okay in patches; 15 possessions and four tackles.
Rory LOBB – 2
Second ruck option struggled. One mark and three kicks not enough to help team.
Shane MUMFORD – 6
Big man battled his guts out; 33 hit-outs, six tackles and three marks. Only 12 disposals.
Tendai MZUNGU – 3
Former Docker looked slower than a helicopter over a nudist colony at times; 10 disposals and one tackles.
Jonathon PATTON – 3
Big man’s only goal came in final term when game was effectively done. Not great conditions for a marking forward.
Harry PERRYMAN – 4
Great experience for the youngster who showed glimpses of his talent in game seven; 14 possessions and four tackles.
Tom SCULLY – 7
Running wingman was one of few Giants to find some space and look dangerous; 21 disposals and five tackles.
Will SETTERFIELD – 5
First-gamer who looks a lot like former Saints and Hawk Joel Smith. Ended day with 12 disposals and six tackles.
Heath SHAW – 7
Veteran waved and screamed his way through the afternoon. Tried hard and did what he could given side was under siege.
Dylan SHIEL – 6
Copped an injury in second term but returned. Going well until injured again late and was done for the day.
Devon SMITH – 6
Struggled to impact the flow of the contest despite grabbing 23 possessions. Six inside-50s and four clearances.
Adam TOMLINSON – 4
Tall defender plugged away all day but issue is he doesn’t win enough ball to hurt the opposition.
Callan WARD – 8
Relished conditions to grab team-high 37 disposals, nine clearances and 16 contested possessions.
Lachie WHITFIELD – 6
Started well with an early goal and kept battling. Not his best game and wet conditions probably didn’t suit him.
Zac WILLIAMS – 7
Got plenty of the ball from half-back (28 disposals) and worked hard to keep the Tigers at bay.
Nathan WILSON – 7
Rebounder did some good things from the GWS back-half. Found the ball 22 times and seven inside-50s.
