Australian Rules-Richmond Tigers roar to AFL title with Giant thrashing

MELBOURNE (Reuters) - The rampaging Richmond Tigers stormed to their second Australian Football League title in three years on Saturday with a 89-point humiliation of the Greater Western Sydney Giants in the season-ending Grand Final in Melbourne on Saturday.

Showcasing their blitzkreig brand of power and pressure, the Tigers booted 11 successive goals to kill off the contest shortly after half-time and roared on to a 17.12 (114) - 3.7 (25) win at a heaving Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Veteran forward Jack Riewoldt scored five goals and midfield maestro Dustin Martin added four for the Tigers, sending the Melbourne team's black-and-gold army of fans into raptures.

Two years after thrashing the Adelaide Crows by 48 points in the 2017 title-decider, Damien Hardwick's team notched their 12th championship at their home stadium, restricting the Giants to their lowest ever score in a championship match.
