1. Jack gets bragging rights - again
Going into Sunday evening's game, Jack had the better record of the Riewoldt cousins in head-to-head clashes, having booted 15 goals in the past two games to Nick's six. And the form line held true again, with Jack's three goals edging Nick's one in the Tigers' 64-point win. The Tigers' defence did a good job to curtail the Saint when he was in the forward arc, although he was often hampered by poor delivery. Richmond's Riewoldt also celebrated his 300th career goal, despite accuracy issues against the Saints. He is just the 11th Tiger to reach that mark.

2. So that's why they recruited him...
Up until a few weeks ago, young Tiger Nick Vlastuin had the title of the club's best first-year player sewn up. Vlastuin didn't play on Sunday evening because of a sore shin, which gave former West Coast and North Melbourne forward Aaron Edwards a chance to shine. He took all of his nine marks for the game by half time in a wide-roaming role before Rhys Stanley, who started in attack, went and manned him up after the main break. It was Edwards' most prolific performance for his new club and will likely keep Luke McGuane waiting for a senior recall.   

3. Defenders must top the Saints' shopping list
St Kilda coach Scott Watters has said the Saints will leave no stone unturned in their bid to improve their list in the off-season and key defenders should still be top of their list. With Sam Fisher out for the year, Tom Simpkin suspended and Sam Gilbert recovering from a knee injury, the Saints were easily exposed by the Tigers' talls on Sunday. Stanley had to cover the aforementioned Edwards, while Sean Dempster and James Gwilt were forced to double-team Jack Riewoldt at times. Late injuries to Dylan Roberton (ankle) and Dempster (lower leg) might not help things next week either, although both were able to finish the game.

4. The Foley of old
Richmond midfielder Nathan Foley was playing his seventh game back from the achilles rupture that ended his 2012 and took a chunk out of this season, and posted his best return yet to finish as a contender for the game's best player. The tenacious ball-winner had 23 possessions (including seven contested), kicked two goals and took eight marks. He will no doubt take confidence from the performance as he continues to readjust to AFL action after nearly a year out.

5. Murdoch's big moment
The highlights were few and far between for the Saints but there was one moment in the third quarter that caught the eye. Steven Morris was penalised for deliberate out of bounds when the ball dribbled out from between his hands deep in the Tigers' defensive pocket. The free kick was given to Brodie Murdoch, playing just his fourth game. Despite greasy conditions courtesy of persistent second-half rain, the 19-year-old coolly kicked a left-foot banana from outside the boundary line - a pretty good way to open his account.
