"We were a bit out on our feet in the second half," Fagan said.

Richmond have pulled off the biggest comeback win in 2022, after coming back from 42 points down to topple Brisbane on Sunday afternoon.

For Richmond the win propels them into ninth spot on the ladder, two points behind St Kilda with games against Port Adelaide, Hawthorn and Essendon to come to close out their season. With the league no longer in Covid protocols, the Grand Final is set to return to the home of football for the foreseeable future and until the Lions show they’re a serious threat on the road … they won’t be adding to their trophy cabinet any time soon. The damning loss for the Lions thoroughly exposes the biggest hurdle in their premiership hunt.

It was a memorable milestone for Shane Edwards, who became the 98th player and first Indigenous player at Richmond to reach 300 games. There was plenty of clutch moments during this epic clash, but none more so than Daniel Rioli’s chase down tackle on the dangerous Charlie Cameron with three and a half minutes remaining in the third quarter. He was enormous and his fifth goal after seven minutes in the final term was crucial. Brisbane burst out of the blocks and kicked the first six goals (Joe Daniher booted three of them) to open up a 34-point lead, before Noah Cumberland sparked Richmond into action with two majors in 30 seconds. Gardiner’s kick went straight to Trent Cotchin, who found Lynch, and, fittingly, he iced the game. Such was his effectiveness, the fifth-gamer was at times isolated as the Tigers’ deepest forward. Bolton was seemingly in everything, while Lynch led Harris Andrews a merry dance. Brisbane had a McCarthy goal, which would have put them back in front, disallowed soon after. After coughing up blood, Bailey was taken to hospital for scans. The Lions have now lost 11 games in succession at the MCG, with their most recent win at the venue occurring in Round 21, 2014, when they thrashed Collingwood by 67 points. Charlie Cameron swooped on a loose ball late in the term and registered his first goal of the afternoon, and when the quarter-time sire sounded, the visitors were 29 points to the good. The Lions continued on their merry way soon after quarter-time, with Lincoln McCarthy joining the goalkicking party after outpointing Jayden Short in a one-on-one marking contest.
