Late goal blitz helps Tigers win big over Dees in Rd 5 of the AFL

Four goals in five minutes in the final quarter helped defending premiers Richmond run out to a 46-point win over Melbourne at the MCG.

While the Tigers led for most of the game, the four goals saw the Tigers convert their 27-point advantage out to 46-points and put the game beyond doubt in the 15.12 (106) to 8.8 (56) win.

The pre-game ceremony was dedicated to Wednesday's Anzac Day commemorations and teams put their rivalry to one side and walked through a banner together.
