Richmond’s push for a finals berth will face a fierce test against the Brisbane Lions at The Gabba on Thursday night, made even more difficult by Dustin Martin’s late out.
The Lions (10-4, 121.1%) remain a game clear of Melbourne in third spot on the ladder, but must win to keep in touch with top two sides Collingwood and Port Adelaide.
The Tigers (6-7-1, 102.4%) have won their last three matches and have been impressive under caretaker coach Andrew McQualter.
