The Brisbane Lions young stars performed extremely well against the Richmond Tigers at Etihad Stadium yesterday. 

In just his fourth AFL match, Alex Witherden finished with a team-high 28 disposals and four inside 50s. Witherden's effort will make him a strong candidate for the Round 17 Rising Star nomination. 

Harris Andrews had the tough task of marking Jack Riewoldt and performed strongly, tallying 16 disposals, eight marks and seven one percenters. 

Eric Hipwood and Ben Keays were solid up front, contributing two goals each. 

Josh Schache impressed in his return to the Senior level, kicking two majors and picking up a hard-fought 14 disposals. 

Lewy Taylor collected 24 disposals and finished with one goal assist.
