He kicked the first goal of the match, but it was clear that the bump had shaken him, and required ongoing attention from the trainers for several minutes. </p><p>The incident set the tone for much of the quarter, as players from both sides went hard at the ball and the man. Tempers at times threatened to boil over, with several fiery clashes breaking out across the field, one notable exchange between <a href="/wiki/Wayne_Walsh" title="Wayne Walsh">Walsh</a> and <a href="/wiki/Brent_Crosswell" title="Brent Crosswell">Crosswell</a> captured on camera. With both forward lines struggling, it was <a href="/wiki/Kevin_Sheedy_(Australian_footballer)" title="Kevin Sheedy (Australian footballer)">Sheedy</a>, who had been named on the half-forward flank, whose three goals for the quarter helped the Tigers capitalize on their work in the ruck and around the packs. Two minutes into time-on, <a href="/wiki/Phillip_Pinnell" title="Phillip Pinnell">Pinnell</a> marked a pressured kick out of defence from <a href="/wiki/Mervyn_Keane" title="Mervyn Keane">Keane</a> and was awarded a 15-metre penalty for interference after the mark.

Kevin Sheedy's three goals in the first quarter were pivotal in helping the Tigers get a solid start, and he continued to be constructive throughout the match, ending up with 16 kicks and 7 handpasses. Michael Green shrugged off concerns over his lead-up form to assist Brian Roberts in subduing Carlton ruckman "Percy" Jones, and starred all around the ground, taking 8 marks and kicking a goal. And captain Royce Hart, despite a suspect left knee, was at his imperious best, kicking three goals and taking a series of strong marks. </p><p>Crane was rated as Carlton's best, and experienced finals campaigners Robert Walls and David McKay also played well. Richmond's win completed a great day for the club; earlier in the day, the Tigers had already secured the flag in the Reserves, Under 19s and Under 17s competitions. As Francis Bourke wrote for <i><a href="/wiki/The_Age" title="The Age">The Age</a></i> after the game: </p> <blockquote><p><i>Imagine how we would have felt if we hadn't won the big one. We couldn't have looked [our other teams] in the eye – it's not often a club gets the chance to set such a record. How do we feel now? Bloody terrific, that's how. I never realised how sweet revenge could be, especially when it is for such a humiliating defeat as ours 12 months ago.
