They are both among the premiership favourites, but it was the Tigers who prevailed against the Cats to win by 26 points on the Gold Coast as they continue their pursuit of back-to-back flags.
Richmond's premiership defence has been given a confidence boost following a 26-point victory over fellow flag contender Geelong on the Gold Coast.
The Tigers triumphed 7.15 to 4.7 on Friday night to leapfrog the Cats and West Coast into third place on the ladder ahead of the final round of the home-and-away season. The win did come at a cost on the injury front, however, with Tom Lynch and Ivan Soldo finishing the match on the sideline.
