Clapsticks – which in some regions are called bilma or bimla – are a traditional percussive instrument used by men and women in all Indigenous Australian communities, usually to maintain rhythm during vocal chants. They are used in ceremonies and social dancing and may accompany other instruments such as the didgeridoo. Like many Indigenous objects, they can serve more than one purpose, such as for digging in the earth, or as trade items.

Richmond lost in a thriller to North Melbourne on Sunday afternoon, falling by four-points. 

Despite trailing for much of the game, the Tigers were frantic in the last quarter with strong pressure in the forward half, but Richmond couldn't capitalise with a late goal that could have secured victory.

It was a rare close win for the Kangaroos, with the 12.6 (78) to 11.8 (74) victory set up in the side's first opening quarter win of the season, on the first truly wintery Sunday of the year.

Cam Zurhaar (four goals) was at his bustling best inside 50 to do the damage on the scoreboard, while Nick Larkey (two goals, five marks) had to contend with Ben Miller for much of the afternoon.

It was largely once the ball hit the deck in attack that the Roos looked particularly dangerous in the early patches. The likes of Nick Vlaustin (nine intercepts), Nathan Broad (six), and Ben Miller (eight) controlled the air, but at ground level the Roos' smalls and midfielders got busy.

Where North Melbourne could do no wrong in its forward line across the opening term, the tables turned after the first break. The Tigers' defensive wall settled in and dominated via intercept, preventing the Roos from being able to enter their attacking 50, let alone generate an opportunity to score.

At the other end of the ground, it took time for Richmond's marking forwards to work into the game. Tom Lynch failed to touch the ball in the first quarter, but finished the game with two goals from 13 touches as he established a presence.

Breakout small forward Seth Campbell (15 disposals, three goals), however, proved to be a constant headache, while Hugo Ralphsmith had the crowd stunned with a goal from the boundary that was reminiscent of Peter Daicos.

The Roos' good – or bad – fortune hinged on its strength and organisation around stoppage. Early, the ability to neatly balance inside layers, with the next release layer was impressive, resulting in genuine, attacking clearances and four of their six first quarter goals came directly from stoppage.

It was here that Richmond was able to establish some ascendancy after the first break. With a bit more control at contest, the Tigers lived in their front half, but frustratingly their efficiency once inside the arc didn't allow them to shut the door on the scoreboard.

Ultimately Richmond won the inside 50 count 49-45, and brought the forward pressure with 22 tackles inside 50, but converted a goal from just 22.4 per cent of its entries.

One v two
An entertaining subplot to a match that otherwise was unlikely to impact the finals series, last year's No.1 and No.2 draft selections met for the first time at AFL level. North Melbourne's Finn O'Sullivan landed the first blow, setting up the opening goal of the game with a neat kick inside 50 to Zurhaar, but it was Tiger Sam Lalor who stole the show. Bullocking through contested situations, flying at the footy, and hitting the scoreboard, Lalor finished the game with two goals from 16 disposals in a performance that demonstrated exactly why he was Richmond's first choice. Notably, Richmond holds the Roos' first pick at this year's draft, adding another layer of intrigue to the post season.

Rucks bringing the pressure
Rucks are typically lauded for their aerial presence and ability to add support on key position lines, but on Sunday afternoon both Richmond's Toby Nankervis and Tristan Xerri lit up the tackles column. Finishing with 13 and 11 respectively to lead their teams, their willingness to apply pressure once the ball was on the deck was evidence of each big man's impressive follow-up game. Outside of that pressure game, Nankervis' pure strength made him a presence in close, while also becoming dangerous in the front half, with 46 hitouts and five marks for the game, as Xerri's (52 hitouts, 11 clearances) handy season continued.

Milestone man
Playing in his 200th AFL game, Kamdyn McIntosh made a strong impact with two goals and 13 disposals, before being chaired off the ground by his Tiger teammates. 

Richmond now prepares for Dreamtime at the 'G on Friday night against Essendon.
