Richmond forget disappointing week with upset over Collingwood

Richmond has bounced back from last week's 88-point loss to GWS with an upset of Collingwood, 14.8 (92) to 11.11 (77).

And they even gave their disgruntled fans a few moments of brilliance, with a standout performance from Alex Rance and beautiful snap-shot goals from Jack Riewoldt and Dustin Martin.

After successive thrashings at the hands of top teams Hawthorn and Greater Western Sydney, Richmond coach Damien Hardwick was proved correct in his prediction that his team would be more competitive against the Magpies.

In a strange sort of way it was an important game even so late in the season and played between two teams that would not make the finals. 

Richmond has been humiliated in Canberra by the Giants last weekend, scoring just 3.5 (23) to the Giants' 17.9 (111).

Criticisms of  Hardwick resurfaced, as did disapproval of the board's decision to extend his contract by two years.

And in the early going Richmond looked every bit the team under fire – buckling under pressure, not rising to the occasion.

The Tigers were cautious and often handpassed when a kick would have created better opportunities for their teammates.

Less than two minutes into the match, the ball had been turned over from right in front of their goal and James Aish had booted a goal at the other end.

But Richmond steadied, led from the back line by Rance and Bachar Houli, then Martin at half-forward.

The latter two did not always use the ball as well as they could have, but they got plenty of it and gave the team some of the energy they  lacked against GWS last week.

Travis Cloke kicked a freakish goal from the boundary line after the siren to help the Pies pull ahead, but the quarter-time score was arguably more cheering for the Tigers.

Although they went into the first break just 14 points down, Richmond had nearly matched their score for their entire game last week. 

Perhaps a good sport psychologist could say something interesting about why it was that in the second term Richmond so dramatically lifted their game.

Brodie Grundy was excellent for Collingwood in the middle, but the Tigers seemed to develop a bit of dare, and became better at finding teammates.

Few would have predicted Richmond would go into half-time six points up, helped along by goals from Shaun Grigg, Nathan Drummond, Jack Riewoldt and second to Ty Vickery.

It was not a high-standard match,  but in the third term Martin showed his class with a beautiful snap shot and goal, breaking the monotony of end-to-end mistakes and misses.

It was only in the final term, with the game on the line, that the game really amped up. Collingwood lifted their intensity and began to dominate out of the centre.

By 16 minutes in the scores were tied and a behind to Adam Treloar put the Pies just in front, but when skipper Scott Pendlebury left the ground with an ankle injury and did not return, he took some of Collingwood's confidence with him.

When Riewoldt goaled in the dying minutes, pulling the ball out of a scramble and snapping it over his shoulder, it had Tigers fans on their feet and most likely, some of those higher up at Tigerland breathing a sigh of relief.
