Adam Kingsley was pleased the GIANTS came away from a "danger game" against Richmond with a win, but wants to see more from his team.

Toby Greene rediscovered his creative best as the GIANTS surged back into the top eight with a 24-point win at the MCG on Sunday.

The captain kicked four goals, as did Jesse Hogan, and also had 10 score involvements and four goal assists.

Kingsley was pleased with an important win for the GIANTS, but said having just 36 inside 50s highlighted there was room for improvement.

"It was a real danger game for us, so it was nice to get the win, but there were aspects of our game that we didn't quite get right," Kingsley said.

"Our ball use from the back half had moments but we only generated 36 inside 50s (to Richmond's 53), which is extraordinarily low.

"We didn't give our forwards ample opportunity to really score, so we were fortunate that we did make the most of our entries and kicked very accurately."

Greene and Hogan dominated up forward, while Tom Green (37 disposals) and Lachie Whitfield (35) were also influential.

Kingsley was happy with the way his side created good opportunities for its forwards when it did get inside 50.

"They (Greene and Hogan) are both very good players and very good finishers," he said.

"Toby was outstanding early, not only creating goals but also contributing and getting the ball moving through the midfield.

"Jesse finished his work off in the second half and probably reaped the rewards of us trying to create some better shots and squaring up from the boundary line.

"I was really pleased with that aspect of our game."

There is some concern over Stephen Coniglio, who was substituted out of his third game back from a shoulder injury with soreness in the joint.

It was the GIANTS' first visit to the MCG this season and first win over Richmond at the venue from eight attempts since their 2012 inception.

A fourth straight defeat left the Tigers (2-15) anchored to the foot of the ladder, and they lost Tim Taranto to concussion late in the game as the result of a tackle from tagger Toby Bedford.

Kingsley was unsure when asked if he was worried Bedford could be in trouble over the incident.

"I haven't watched the replay, I saw it live, but it didn't feel like he drove him (into the ground), slung him or anything like that," Kingsley said.

"It's hard to say (what will come of it). I really don't know.

"We'll keep our fingers crossed and see how we go."
