Richmond challenged Yartapuulti but ultimately fell short on Sunday afternoon at the MCG, going down by 10 points.

The Power held off a fierce Tigers challenge on their way to a 10.17 (77) to 9.13 (67) victory.

Both Richmond and Yartapuulti struggled to find the middle of the sticks, the Power leading from the 13th minute of the first quarter to take out the win.

The Tigers didn't drop their heads, but were a step behind for most of the match, struggling to take advantage of their periods of dominance in the 10.17 (77) to 9.13 (67) result at the MCG.

Just eight days after Damien Hardwick's final game in charge, the Richmond army trudged up the hill from the station in the rain, walking past the Punt Road headquarters and ready to watch their side under interim coach Andrew McQualter, as the Sir Doug Nicholls' two-round celebrations concluded against Yartapuulti.

The people in charge may transition in and out, but the clubs and the game continue to roll on.

Dylan Grimes and Noah Balta saw off the opening salvo from Yartapuulti, but the repeat inside 50s and clearance capitalisation proved too much to handle, the Power easing away to a 25-point lead at quarter-time.

The Power were simply able to move the ball far too easily in dangerous patches throughout the game, finding plenty of room down the middle of the field and linking up with well-placed kicks.

Richmond had its chances in the second term but kicked seven behinds – including a run of four in a row – and it took the hardest shot of the lot, a tight Tim Taranto snap, to cut the margin to 11 points.

After a wet morning, the game had been relatively dry (grass aside), until the rain came down at half-time and into the third quarter.

Miles Bergman was thrown forward for the second half in the place of Ryan Burton, giving the Tigers a different look to deal with, and Willem Drew's soccer opening broke a run of seven straight behinds for Yartapuulti, stretching from the first to the third terms.

Taranto kicked two of the best goals of an error-strewn game, as well as the opening major of the last quarter to close within two points. The recruit finished with 33 touches and four goals.

Toby Nankervis worked his way into the match beautifully, relishing the slower, wet conditions in the third term, while the class of Connor Rozee and Dan Houston were key to the Power's eighth straight win.

Thanks, Dimma
At the 17th-minute mark of the first term, the Richmond army stood as one with a round of applause as a thank you to their former coach, although it fell slightly flat when the Power's Ollie Lord took a set-shot in the middle of it. There was a reshuffle in the coaches' box, Andrew McQualter taking the senior reins, Kane Lambert – who retired just last year – promoted from the icy confines of the bench as development coach to midfield, and VFL coach Steve Morris doing double duty as runner.
