Collingwood hammers Richmond, with more Tiger injury woes

Collingwood stormed to a dominant 44-point win over the Tigers in front of 70,000 at the MCG on Thursday night.

Richmond was able to stay in the contest for the first three quarters while the Pies dominated both contested and uncontested possessions — nine Magpies had an extraordinary 10 players take nine or more marks.

But the Magpies pulled away via a dominant last term, kicking five goals to one.

The big talking point though will be an injury to Jack Riewoldt’s wrist.

“They don’t look, by comparison, anywhere near this Collingwood outfit,” 3AW Football’s Gerard Healy said of the disappointing Tigers after the match.

“It’s really exciting if you’re a Collingwood fan.

“They’ve improved significantly.”
