Richmond loses to Hawthorn by 32 points in AFL round-three clash at MCG

Richmond's scoring woes since the AFL season restart have continued, as the Tigers were held to just five goals for the second-straight week in a surprise 32-point defeat to Hawthorn at the MCG. Key points: The Hawks managed their second win of the disrupted AFL season The Tigers were off target on goal, only kicking five majors for the match Jaeger O'Meara impressed for the Hawks, with 23 disposals and a goal The Tigers were kept goalless in the first quarter, as Hawthorn's midfield flipped the form guide with a dominant display in the 11.5 to 5.9 victory. But spearhead Jack Riewoldt could find himself in trouble with the match review officer for a late elbow to James Sicily's side that saw the Hawks defender awarded a 50-metre penalty after a mark. Boosted by O'Meara's inclusion, Hawthorn's midfield launched an immediate response to last week's hammering from Geelong by tearing Richmond apart early.
