Match Report

Richmond lost in a heartbreaking circumstances for the third week in a row. The Tigers lost to Gold Coast after a Karmichael Hunt goal after the siren, then to North Melbourne in the dying moments. All of the losses tore apart Tigers supporters, but this was arguably the toughest of the bunch. The Tigers looked to have kept their slim finals hopes alive when they were two points in front with less than a minute to go. But a freak goal from Brock McLean stole the four points for Carlton to keep the Blues’ own finals dream alive. McLean was more than 50 metres out on the boundary when he decided to kick to Levi Casboult in the right pocket. The ball went over Casboult‘s head and bounced through for an incredible goal to put the Blues four points in front. The Tigers managed to get the ball from the centre bounce that followed but they ran out of time. It was a game that ebbed and flowed as Richmond won the first quarter, while the Blues wrestled the lead back at half-time in wet and slippery conditions.

COACHES COMMENTS
Brett Ratten (Carl): Our best win? No. But one of the most courageous for some time. There's some great spirit at the club and it just shows the character of the guys.

Damien Hardwick (Rich): When you lose three games by under a kick, there's some things going wrong that we've got to fix. Obviously we're not good enough at this stage.

Umpires: Margetts, Rosebury, Hay
