After a scrappy first three quarters, Richmond’s VFL side kicked five final quarter goals to run away with a big win against the Northern Bullants on Saturday.

It was the Tigers who started hot, kicking the first three goals just 10 minutes into the game, as signs looked ominous early for the Bullants.

But in the later parts of the quarter the home side fought back, thanks to Will Elliott who kicked back-to-back to steady his side and keep them within 14 points at the first break.

The second quarter proved to be quite an even contest, with Richmond once again kicking early goals through Harry Scott and Massimo Raso, before the Bullants threw a few punches of their own.

But despite having good opportunities to score, they squandered their chances, kicking 1.6 to the Tigers' 2.3 for the term.

This meant Richmond was able to slightly extend its advantage, taking a 19-point lead into the main break.

VFL Round 14: Post-Match

Hear from VFL coach Jake Batchelor after the Tigers' VFL win over the Northern Bullants.

Tigers key-defender Tylar Young floated forward to kick a brilliant running goal from outside 50 to start the second half, before Oliver Hayes-Brown and Sam Toner got in on the act, the latter’s first ever VFL goal coming with a classy set shot effort.

In a strong quarter for Richmond, it was able to keep its opposition scoreless, helping extend the margin to 40 points with a quarter to play.

It was party time in the last term for the young Tigers and their fans, as Young kicked his second before highly touted draftee Taj Hotton and Seth Macdonald kicked their first goals in the yellow and black.

They managed to kick a few more goals late as Richmond ran out 58-point winners in an important victory.
