Geelong has put together a dominant performance against a young Richmond side, defeating the Tigers by 72 points on Saturday afternoon at GMHBA Stadium.

The Cats had 10 individual goalkickers, with the floodgates opening up after quarter-time when Geelong kicked 15 goals to the Tigers' six to win 18.16 (124) to 7.10 (52) in front of a crowd of 31,060.

Rhyan Mansell kicked three goals, collected 22 disposals, put on 20 pressure acts, and had seven score involvements in an impressive performance, while Maurice Rioli returned to the AFL side in style with 19 disposals, eight score involvements and one goal.

It was also another positive effort from Sam Banks, who had 26 disposals and eight score involvements, as his hot run of form rolls on. Jacob Hopper was the Tigers' leading ball winner for the game with 27 disposals. 

Devastatingly, No.1 pick Sam Lalor was subbed out of the game at the seven-minute mark of the first term with a hamstring injury. Hugo Ralphsmith also would not finish the game with a hamstring injury.  

Richmond kept up with Geelong initially and had 17 inside 50s to 12 in the first quarter.

But it was Geelong which was more damaging with its forward entries, with Patrick Dangerfield, Jeremy Cameron and Jack Bowes all hitting the scoreboard, while for the Tigers their only major came through a well-executed snap from Mansell on the boundary. 

The Cats came out firing in the second term. Crafty small forward Gryan Myers' influence increased, as did mature-aged recruit Shaun Mannagh's, as the Cats piled on 10 unanswered goals.

Both Geelong and the Tigers added three goals apiece in the last quarter, making it Richmond's best quarter of the match with Rioli, Toby Nankervis and Tom Brown hitting the scoreboard.

Richmond returns to the MCG next Saturday night to face Essendon.
