Richmond will enter the bye looking to reset and recharge after a disappointing 44-point loss to the Sydney Swans at the MCG on a wintery Saturday afternoon. 

An unanswered 10-goal run from Sydney resulted in the 11.14 (80) to 4.12 (36) victory.

The Tigers started the game full of energy, with strength at the contest and peppering their attacking 50, but what they couldn't do, however, was turn that dominance in field position into scores.

Richmond’s 14 inside 50s in the first quarter resulted in three goals from seven scores, but the side generated only 24 forward entries across the remainder of the game, including a goal drought spanning the better part of three quarters.

Dion Prestia started the game on fire, with 13 disposals, three clearances and a goal to his name at quarter time. That one major was a cracker, as he sold the candy to Sydney defenders before nailing a goal at the Punt Road End.

Prestia ultimately finished with 21 disposals and six clearances in his second senior game back from injury. 

As the game progressed, the Swans built confidence. The early margin wasn't nearly as worrying as it might have been, so their run of 10 consecutive goals not only mowed down the deficit, but turned it into a sizeable lead.

Generating space in attack, and effectively hitting runners on the open side, allowed Sydney to run away with an advantage it wouldn’t relinquish.

The defensive 50 was the area of the ground that Richmond was at its best across the opening half. The defensive line often picked off attacking attempts from the Swans, giving the Tigers opportunities to attack.  

However, after halftime the shifting and changing of Sydney's attack, whereby it worked to create pockets of space and generated repeat entries, helped the visitors build the lead. 

Youngster Luke Trainor continued his strong debut season with 19 disposals and eight marks, with other strong contributors being Sam Banks (21 disposals, 422 metres gained), Kane McAuliffe (19 disposals), Tom Brown (17 disposals, seven intercept possessions), Tim Taranto (25 disposals) and Jacob Hopper (22 disposals).
