A nervy Richmond survived a spirited Carlton fightback despite holding a six-goal lead at the final change.
The Blues came storming home and closed to within 12 points before the Tigers steadied and ran out winners 14.22 (106) to 14.17 (101).
Carlton kicked the first three goals of the night and looked to be continuing their dominance in this famous fixture, but a seven-goal second term broke the game apart, the Tigers leading by as many as 42 points 11 minutes into the third quarter.
The Blues charged home in the final quarter and had the chance to snatch an unlikely victory but Chris Yarran pushed his shot to the left from 30-metres on the run.
Tyrone Vickery and Brett Deledio had three goals each for the victors while Trent Cotchin accumulated 33 disposals in his first game as Richmond captain.
More to come.
