"The Richmond Tigers and Carlton Blues will kick-off season 2020 from the MCG without any fans in attendance as the AFL plays their part in managing the AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan confirmed the season would go ahead tonight in a press conference yesterday.McLachlan acknowledged that the AFL is embarking on an "unprecedented challenge", declaring "we know at any time a player could test positive and halt our journey. 4:00 to go, time enough for Carlton if they are good enough.Strong mark from Silvagni. From Start. Less than a minute to go, the Tigers are going to hold on.Prestia drills a pass to Riewoldt who then wastes a forward 50 pass. The Blues get it back and move it to the wing where there is a throw-in.Nice dummy sell from Silvagni who coolly sinks his second. This night was never going to be remembered for the result but the Tigers get the first four points of what will be a season like no other. Jack Riewoldt booted two of his three goals in the first quarter as the Tigers leapt out to a 31-point lead at the first break that they extended to 45 points at halftime.Along with Martin, Patrick Cripps was instrumental in the fightback, the co- captain gathering 31 touches.In his first game since round 23, 2017, Sam Docherty was outstanding with 26 disposals in his comeback from two knee reconstructions.A NOTE ABOUT RELEVANT ADVERTISING: We collect information about the content (including ads) you use across this site and use it to make both advertising and content more relevant to you on our network and other sites. RICHMOND 16.9.105. Jack Martin had four goals through three quarters to get Carlton back into the game against Richmond. But star recruit Jack Martin kicked four goals in the third term as the Blues kicked seven of eight goals to slice the margin to 15 points in the last quarter before the Tigers steadied.Richmond should have unfurled their 2019 premiership flag in front of their adoring Tiger Army before Thursday night’s clash.But at least locked-out fans watching at home would’ve been heartened to see that not much has changed with Damien Hardwick’s well-drilled unit. "That left ankle looked like it collapsed under it," James Brayshaw said in commentary.After leaving the field, cameras captured the big man on crutches inside the changerooms.We can expect there to be plenty of this in season 2020.A rather humorous moment from tonight's match when Jason Castagna kicked the ball out on the fool, leaving the commentary team guessing as who will go and fetch the ball from the stands.

"As much as I'd love the fans here, I'm really enjoying being able to coach a little bit from all aspects of the ground. Jack Trengove.
The same rule is set for the entire opening round for all teams and fans.But for the defending premiers, they will honour their cheer squad with a giant banner reading, "WE ARE THE TIGER ARMY".The club said earlier that the banner was "a simple symbolic gesture that the Tiger Army are always behind the team, no matter where they are.

In an eerily empty MCG due to coronavirus restrictions, the Tigers made it 10 wins in a row against the Blues, kicking off the AFL season with a 16.9 (105) to 12.9 (81) victory.But in David Teague’s first game as full-time coach, Carlton showed plenty of promise.Having lost ruckman Matthew Kreuzer to a foot injury in the first quarter, the Blues trailed by a game-high 50 points in the third quarter. Richmond Vs Carlton. Bruce McAvaney said in commentary.No fans in attendance but that hasn't stopped Jason Castagna, Shane Edwards and Jack Riewoldt from opening season 2020 with a goal to each of their names.Richmond will pay tribute to their cheer squad with a giant banner covering an entire bay of seats.In what would've been close to a sell out, tonight's Tigers V Blues clash will not have any fans in attendance. So much is different about the world and the AFL in 2020, but at least one thing has stayed the same as Richmond launched their season with a win over Carlton.
Dustin Martin is still a superstar, the two-time Norm Smith Medal winner warming into the match to finish with 24 possessions and a goal.Dion Prestia (25 disposals) and Trent Cotchin (19) we prominent in the game played with shortened 16-minute quarters.Marlion Pickett, back at the scene of his stunning grand final debut, finished with 14 touches and showed flashes of brilliance.Daniel Rioli, Shai Bolton and Jason Castagna all kicked three goals.
