THE FULL magnitude of Richmond's nightmare against Collingwood on Friday night has been revealed, with the Tigers collecting another unwanted record.

In a repeat performance of last year's shock preliminary final loss, the Tigers conceded 164 more disposals against the Pies – the highest differential in the club's history.

It came off the back of a first half where the Pies dominated possession and amassed 99 marks for an AFL record in a single half of football.

It left the Tigers scratching their heads post-game, coach Damien Hardwick addressing the discrepancy immediately after the siren.

"It (address) was pretty obvious really, we got absolutely smashed in uncontested marks, tackles and contested possessions," midfielder Dion Prestia told AFL Nation.

"Collingwood absolutely controlled the game tonight and you wouldn't really expect anyone to win the uncontested (disposal) count and the tackles, so it's pretty disappointing from our part.

"We were probably in the exact situation last year when we lost to Adelaide in round two. There's a lot to work on and it's probably good to get a little kick up the bum tonight."

The Tigers conceded 140 extra disposals to the Crows in that match last year, with their previous record coming in round three, 2010, when Sydney piled on 143 extra touches.

On Friday night, the Tigers laid just 33 tackles to the Pies' 60.

The lopsided display was reflected in the individual marks count, with 13 Pies having seven or more marks than Richmond's leader Dylan Grimes (seven).

The Tigers will have a nine-day break to correct their defensive structure before facing Greater Western Sydney at GIANTS Stadium next Saturday.
