After surviving a scare, Richmond breathed life back into its season with a 43-point win over the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba on Thursday night.
The Lions hit the front midway through the third quarter, but the Tigers responded emphatically, piling on five late goals in the term to put the result to rest.
They ran away in the final quarter to win 15.16 (106) to 9.9 (63).
Bid on the match-worn named guernesys from the game.
Jack Riewoldt relished the extra responsibility in the forward line, kicking four goals, including two in the vital burst late in the third.
Trent Cotchin also bounced back, finishing with 32 disposals and a clutch goal in the match-winning third quarter burst.
He started the night with second-gamer Nick Robertson tagging him, but as the night wore on, ran around relatively unopposed.
Shaun Grigg (29), Ricky Petterd (28) and Dan Jackson (24) were also prolific ball-winners, while Dustin Martin was classy in the forward line, adding three goals.
The Tigers dominated early, but kept the Lions in the match by kicking just 2.8 in the first quarter.
The undermanned Lions lifted for Jonathan Brown's 250th match, but ultimately lacked the polish to finish the job.
Fielding a team minus stars Daniel Rich (knee), Matthew Leuenberger (knee), Pearce Hanley (hamstring) and Daniel Merrett (suspended), it was a marked improvement on the past fortnight's floggings from Gold Coast and Port Adelaide.
Brown turned back the clock in his milestone game, taking some vintage marks and finishing with four goals.
While not a classic victory in its nature, it moves Richmond to a 2-3 win-loss record ahead of a brutal fortnight against Hawthorn and Geelong.
