Adem Yze tasted victory for the first time as Richmond coach as his spirited Tigers overcame the absence of Dustin Martin and other premiership heroes to defeat Sydney by five points in a thrilling finish at the MCG.

Adem Yze didn’t have to wait as long as his predecessor Damien Hardwick to notch his first win leading the yellow and black, with the Tigers ending the Swans’ unbeaten start to 2024.

Tom Lynch willed the Tigers back into the contest by nailing back-to-back goals in the third term to stop the rut while Liam Baker was inspirational with relentless pressure, putting himself in dangerous positions forward of centre and putting his side back in front with his second goal. Teammate Daniel Rioli was the only other player on the ground to reach double figures for intercept possessions.Thomson Dow produced one of the best performances of his career with six clearances, second only to Tim Taranto, while Seth Campbell matched Shai Bolton as the leading players on the ground for inside 50s with eight.

The noise was deafening for his second career goal however as he slotted a set shot from 45m on a roughly 45 degree angle as part of the Tigers’ third quarter onslaught before he was later subbed off.Spot fires were breaking out during the second quarter and tempers flared when Liam Baker crashed into Swans defender Lewis Melican late in a marking contest.
