It was a case of Jack the Giantkiller at Spotless Stadium in Round 10.
Richmond’s star spearhead Jack Riewoldt destroyed Greater Western Sydney with a brilliant, AFL career-high 11-goal performance, inspiring the Tigers to a thumping 113-point win.
Riewoldt booted four goals in a devastating opening term burst, as Richmond piled on eight goals straight to the home team’s 1.5.

Dual Jack Dyer Medallist Brett Deledio celebrated his 200th game with a dominant 34-disposal display, while Dustin Martin, 36 disposals, Brandon Ellis, 31 disposals, Bachar Houli, 26 disposals, and Trent Cotchin, 26 disposals also were prominent.
But it was ‘Jumping Jack’, who was flash, producing one of the greatest goalkicking feats in Tigerland’s history.
WHAT THE COACH SAID:
"The important thing for us and our players going forward is what we do with this. We are a long way back, we know our best footy is good enough, we've just got to make sure we consistently deliver what we put out there today."
