Tigers, Blues lock in final teams for Saturday night clash. Follow LIVE
RICHMOND did well to keep pace with Collingwood for three quarters but paid the price for letting down their guard during the second term when it was outscored six goals to one.
The Tigers are still counting the cost of a lengthy injury list but have few excuses for the lack of intensity, with a combined 75 tackles across their past two matches compared to the opposition's 117.
Carlton has turned a nightmare start to the season into an unlikely finals dream as it extended its incredible run since interim coach Josh Fraser took charge to six wins with a victory over West Coast.

Collingwood defender Brayden Maynard could be in trouble after making contact with an umpire during the Magpies' six-point win over the Gold Coast Suns.
The Magpies held on for a 15.14 (104) to 15.8 (98) win over the Suns at Carra Stadium in a contest that had a spiteful end to the first half.
Maynard rushed into a melee after the half-time siren sounded and put his hands on an umpire who was in the middle of the fracas.
The Collingwood defender was seeking Gold Coast's Ben Long, who had hit him in the ribs with a shoulder during another melee just moments before.

Burning questions for Stealth Night at the ‘G
Stealth Night at the ‘G takes centre stage on Saturday night, as Richmond hosts Carlton in a standalone primetime fixture.
Here are some burning questions that could determine the result of the game.
Despite last week’s loss to Collingwood, Richmond was able to control field position for significant portions of the contest.
The Tigers recorded 51 inside-50s, five above their season average, while 49 per cent of the game was played in Richmond’s forward half. Additionally, Adem Yze’s men were the number one team in the AFL last weekend at converting a handball chain from a stoppage into an inside-50.
