And that's exactly what has happened at Etihad Stadium today. The Tigers stars have torched the Western Bulldogs engine room to set up a 51-point lead at the last change, one that could be a lot higher but for errant goal kicking.
Richmond rammed home six goals in the third quarter with Deledio sending home his third goal, kicked from 60m out.
It's been the same old tale for the Dogs, with their dysfunctional forward line letting them down.
RICHMOND 39 lead WESTERN BULLDOGS 13
DUSTIN Martin was able to consolidate an otherwise wasteful Richmond's lead over the Western Bulldogs.
The Tigers booted a staggering nine behinds in the first quarter after Brett Deledio slotted the first of the match with just 11 seconds on the clock.
Deledio roved the tap out, burst to 55m and opened the scoring under the closed roof at Etihad Stadium.
But the Western Bulldogs responded with Liam Jones kicking the next two goals and arrest the lead.
The Tigers answered the challenge piling on three goals and put the Dogs on the back foot.
Bulldogs defender Easton Wood was substituted out of the match with hamstring injury.
Wood was competing for a ball close to the boundary line when he pulled up sharply clutching his left hamstring.
Substitute Clay Smith replaced the rebounding defender at the 19minute mark.
PRE-GAME
ALEX Fasolo will have his return to Collingwood slightly delayed after being handed substitute duties for today's clash against Hawthorn.
Fasolo returns after impressing in the VFL following a layoff with injury, while Jack Gunston - who missed last week's win against Wes Coast - will start in the green vest for the Hawks.
RICHMOND recruit Chris Knights will make his debut for the Tigers after coming as a late replacement for defender Jake Batchelor.
Knights arrived at Punt Rd as a free agent from Adelaide last year.
Meanwhile, the Bulldogs will be without young gun Ayce Cordy who pulled up sore during the week.
Ruckman Tom Campbell comes into the team despite not being named on the original emergencies list.

Bulldogs recruit Nick Lower will be looking to continue his hot streak of form tagging Richmond captain Trent Cotchin.
Lower has quickly become one of the most dangerous stoppers in the game beating Daniel Rich (Brisbane) and David Mundy (Fremantle) in his first two games at the Kennel.
The Bulldogs have the added incentive of putting on a strong display for courageous midfielder Daniel Cross in his 200th AFL game.
