NORTHERN Blues crashed to their heaviest defeat in more than a year on Sunday, annihilated by 84 points by a ruthless Richmond at Punt Road Oval.
The Tigers dominated from quarter-time at their traditional home, recording 29 scoring shots to five after the teams were level at the first break.
Richmond kicked 14 goals to two in the last three quarters, blitzing a Blues side bereft of answers 16.19 (115) to 4.7 (31).
Taylor Hunt signalled the Tigers’ intentions in the second quarter, starting a run of four majors as the hosts kicked 26 points clear.
Liam Sumner snapped truly to end Richmond’s streak, however any thoughts of a comeback were short-lived.
