Richmond continued to sharpen up its 2023 preparations with a match simulation at the Swinburne Centre on Saturday morning.

In the Tigers' biggest hit-out of the pre-season so far, the group played out four 15-minute quarters in the Melbourne heat, with four minute breaks in between each term.

Split into two sides, a 'Yellow' team and a 'Red' team, with a number of VFL-listed players also taking part, it was an intense and evenly-matched competitive clash at Tigerland.

Jack Riewoldt kicked four goals, the veteran forward showing his class as he approaches his 17th AFL season. 

Exciting younger Judson Clarke showcased his finishing ability by getting on the end of three goals, while fellow Tiger Cub Jacob Bauer slotted two.

Dustin Martin was fit and firing, the superstar Tiger busy up forward as he booted two majors. 

Recruits Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper were composed through the midfield and found plenty of the ball, as they continue to build excitement ahead of their first seasons in the Yellow and Black.

Daniel Rioli was dynamic in defence, while his uncle Maurice Rioli was lively up forward and hit the scoreboard.

Veteran Tiger Trent Cotchin was an important contributor throughout the hit-out. Along the wing, Marlion Pickett worked hard and was influential. 

Liam Baker was reliable as always in the Tigers' backline, while electrifying midfielder/forward Shai Bolton produced plenty of exciting moments. 

Richmond's first pre-season challenge is now less than a a fortnight away, with the Tigers set to face North Melbourne in a match simulation on February 24, ahead of their official practice match against Melbourne on March 4.
