Q4 is now underway.
00:01
Final quarter is underway under the lights of the MCG with the only question being, how far the Hawks?
00:50

01:50
GOAL TIGERS - Excellent reward for Riewoldt who has fought hard all afternoon as he finds the major opening from an acute angle.
02:05
SCORE GOAL - Tigers (Jack Riewoldt)
03:30
There's a scramble for the ball on the wing but eventually the line beats all-comers and we will have a throw in right in front of the members.
04:20
Terrific movement of the ball by the Tigers and it is capped off by Ellis whose accurate chip finds Jackson unmarked just 30m out from goal.
05:27
SCORE GOAL - Tigers (Daniel Jackson)
05:40
GOAL TIGERS - Richmond make it two in a row for the first time this afternoon as Jackson sends the ball straight over the goal umpire's hat.

GOAL HAWKS - Breust with the classic opportunist's goal as he gets boot to the bouncing ball and, after a video review, the goal umpire raises both flags.
07:25
SCORE GOAL - Hawks (Luke Breust)
08:50
Injury concerns for the Tigers as Martin comes off second best from a collision in the middle of the ground and he limps gingerly from the field.
09:03
Tigers Interchange - Dustin Martin off due to an injury.
09:30
BEHIND TIGERS - Gordon finds himself in plenty of space as he wheels around onto his right boot however the ball lands well out to the left.

11:17
SCORE GOAL - Hawks (Bradley Hill)
13:20
The Hawks have this match well and truly in the bag however their forwards continue to apply tremendous pressure on the Tigers' defence.
15:00
A disappointing way to finish the match as play is interrupted by a (fully-clothed) streaker and the offender is quickly whisked away by the authorities.
17:00
GOAL HAWKS - Langford cleverly pops the ball up for Gunston who marks on the chest and from 20m he pops it through for his second to inflict more pain on the Tigers.
17:59
SCORE GOAL - Hawks (Jack Gunston)
19:30
SCORE GOAL - Hawks (Jarryd Roughead)
19:40
GOAL HAWKS - The brown and gold army continues to march on and it is Roughead adding his name to the lengthy list of goal kickers with an accurate kick that splits the centre.
21:50
The sting has well and truly gone out of this match however Burgoyne continues to shine as he turns out of trouble before sending the ball long towards the goal square.
23:40
Conca goes back courageously with the flight off the ball and is met heavily by Gibson who is subsequently reported for charging sparking a melee on the Southern Stand wing.
25:10
Initial replays and a groggy Conca seem to indicate that Gibson is in danger of missing a week and possibly more following that heavy clash.
25:30
Tigers Interchange - Reece Conca off due to an injury.
27:50
BEHIND TIGERS - Ellis, off the one step, sets up a shot at goal however it lands well short and is punched through for a rushed behind by the Hawks' defence.

SCORE BEHIND - Tigers (Rushed)
29:20
GOAL TIGERS - An excellent kick from Petterd as he swings his drop punt back inside the right hand post for a late consolation six-pointer.
30:11
SCORE GOAL - Tigers (Ricky Petterd)
31:10
BEHIND TIGERS - The siren sounds as Petterd marks deep in the forward pocket but his long bomb from outside 50m veers away to the right for a behind.
32:05
SCORE BEHIND - Tigers (Ricky Petterd)
32:10
