Richmond pulls off an immense upset over Sydney, with Adam Yze registering his first win as coach in his fourth game at the club. Nick Vlastuin's 13 intercept possessions and seven intercept marks in the second half proved pivotal, however, Richmond's ability to rectify their uncontested ball use (taking 40 more uncontested marks than their season average) showed growth in the team and helped lead them to a decisive victory.
