Here's how we rated the Crows in a disappointing day for Don Pyke's men.
Josh Jenkins - 2
A day to forget for the big forward. No impact at all.
Andy Otten - 2
Barely got near it and seemed to give away a free kick when he did. Ranced.
Riley Knight - 3
One of many victims of Richmond's rabid pressure.
Tom Lynch - 3
Went unsighted most of the day and wasn't effective when he found the ball.
Taylor Walker - 4
Took two and a half quarters to turn up and it was too little, too late when he did.
Rory Atkins - 4
Crucial error when playing on from a free kick early. Just not able to find space.
Eddie Betts - 4
Unlucky not to get a free kick just before half time but, like many of his teammates, went missing for long periods.
Charlie Cameron - 4.5
Nothing seemed to go right after a big preliminary final and high hopes.
David McKay - 5
Tried hard but another who never got going.
Paul Seedsman - 5
Decent early but influence waned when the game got hot.
Luke Brown - 5
Another who was good early but not able to keep up with the heat in the game.
Hugh Greenwood - 5
Did a few good things but not enough when it counted.
Jake Kelly - 6
Got plenty of the footy but, thanks to the Tigers pressure, never found time or space.
Rory Laird - 6
Found a lot of the ball but his usage didn't live up to this high standards.
Daniel Talia - 6
Fought back well after being soundly beaten by Riewoldt early.
Richard Douglas - 6
Toiled hard, far from his side's worst.
Brad Crouch - 6.5
Worked into the game well but the damage was done by the time he had.
Jake Lever - 7
Another of the Crows backmen who started brightly but could only stop the floodgates opening for so long.
Rory Sloane - 7
Big early with two goals but influence limited as Tigers midfield got on top.
Matt Crouch - 7
A heap of inside ball as expected but never found enough space to be as damaging as he would've liked.
Sam Jacobs - 7
Easily had the better of the ruck contests and made some crucial interceptions around the ground. Let down by his midfield.
Kyle Hartigan - 7.5
Probably his team's best in the first half, succumbed to the endless Tiger entries in the end.
