Nemesis ... Jack Riewoldt once again proved a thorn in Hawthorn's side. Source: Michael Klein / News Limited
A goal after the final siren from Richmond star Jack Riewoldt has given the Tigers a heart-stopping one-point AFL pre-season cup win over Hawthorn at Aurora Stadium, but a serious knee injury to young Hawk Matt Suckling soured the thrilling affair.

Riewoldt nailed the difficult six-pointer from wide to the left to hand Richmond a 0.13.7(85) to 0.13.6(84) victory after a seesawing final quarter in which the lead changed six times.
The victory gave Richmond a 3-1 record for the pre-season and left grand finalists the Hawks winless after four.
Hawthorn forward Jarryd Roughead booted three of his five goals in the final term, but it wasn't enough after his side had clawed back from a 19-point halftime deficit.
Hawthorn's loss was soured even more by the news that Suckling has a suspected anterior cruciate ligament tear which would require a full knee reconstruction.
Suckling hobbled off early in the third quarter after his right leg collapsed underneath him. Although the defender will undergo scans on Monday, coach Alastair Clarkson fears it could be an ACL, admitting "it doesn't look good."
Riewoldt and Chris Newman finished with three each for the Tigers with Roughead supported by Shaun Burgoyne and Matt Spangher with doubles in front of 8601 fans in Launceston.
Hawthorn went into the game against the near full-strength Tigers without a number of big guns, including Lance Franklin, Cyril Rioli and captain Luke Hodge but Burgoyne and Grant Birchall made their first appearances of the year.
Richmond were all over them early and kicked four of the first five goals to race out to a 19-point lead.
But three goals in quick succession to Shane Savage, Jed Anderson and Burgoyne saw the Hawks finish the first term the stronger and at level pegging.

Riewoldt provided the comedy when he spectacularly somersaulted over the boundary fence and into one of the stands at Aurora, emerging unscathed moments later.
Hawthorn clawed their way back, kicking the first three goals of the third - two to Spangher - to narrow the margin to just three.
They hit the lead when Derick Wanganeen goaled but Richmond led by two points when Bachar Houli kicked a major on the stroke of three-quarter time.
Clarkson said the Hawks' preparation after making it to the last week of the 2012 season was on track.
"We're not playing catch-up," he said.
"We just know that our preparation hasn't been as fast-tracked as some of the other sides.
"They've got probably three or four weeks on us. Our preparation's just a little bit different than a lot of the other sides. We're reasonably pleased where we are physically."
Pleased too are the Tigers after a 3-1 campaign but coach Damien Hardwick said his side should have beaten a Hawks outfit missing the likes of Lance Franklin, Cyril Rioli and Luke Hodge by more.
"Hawthorn had a truckload of players out so there's no delusions," Hardwick said.
"We should have won the game with the talent of the squad we had in and we just got over the line.
"So from our point of view it wasn't good enough."
