Richmond has overcome a second-half surge from the GIANTS to secure a 19-point triumph in stifling conditions at Blacktown International Sportspark.

The Tigers were in control of the contest until Alyce Parker sparked a GIANTS revival that proved to be short lived as the visitors ran away in the final term for a 7.11 (53) to 5.4 (34) victory on Saturday afternoon.

The win takes the Tigers to a 2-1 record while putting the GIANTS' season on a knife's edge following three consecutive losses and with concerns over a knee injury to Parker.

The onballer had to be helped from the field in the dying stages after all but keeping the GIANTS in the game with another outstanding display.

The Tigers' own gun midfielder Monique Conti was again at her blistering best while gathering a game-high 22 disposals and a goal and leading the way especially when the game was on the line.

Eilish Sheerin (17 disposals, 436 metres gained) and Kate Dempsey (18, 437) were also critical for the Tigers with their polished ball movement, as ruck Gabby Seymour (12 touches, 26 hitouts) made her presence felt around the stoppages.

Zippy forward Emelia Yassir booted two majors for the Tigers before Courtney Jones and Sarah D'Arcy kicked the goals in the final term that clinched a hard-fought victory.

Parker slotted two quick goals that helped the GIANTS snatch the lead in the third term after trailing by as much as 16 points and finished with 21 disposals before being sidelined.

Nicola Barr (18 disposals) was again influential for the GIANTS in a new midfield role, while Chloe Dalton (12 disposals, one goal, 391 metres gained) added run and carry as the game opened up.

The GIANTS' boom recruit Isabel Huntington also impressed in her club debut after overcoming a third ACL injury to provide a forward threat and most importantly run out a first game in 616 days unscathed. 

The former No.1 draft pick only gathered five disposals but was often crucial to ensuring the ball came to ground especially as the GIANTS surged in the second half before Huntington and her side ran out of steam.
