AFL: Richmond launch revival under McQualter to break Fremantle hearts

Tigers roar to life against Dockers overcoming icy Perth conditions

Richmond has breathed considerable life back into its season after holding off a determined Fremantle side in inclement conditions.

Under new coach Andrew McQualter, the Tigers have won three of their past four games and now find themselves a game outside the top eight.

They were forced to overcome the icy Perth conditions and a determined Fremantle side on Saturday night, but they did so in impressive fashion.

The Tigers kicked the first three goals of the game and never looked back, withstanding a Dockers fightback in the second half to run out 12.13 (85) to 9.9 (63) winners.
