Richmond Tigers vs North Melbourne Kangaroos Preview

It was no surprise to watch Richmond struggle for points last week with a long list of players on the sidelines.

The Tigers still got the job done however in their less than exciting eight-point win over the Swans, a result that has vaulted Richmond back up to sixth on the ladder for the time being.

North Melbourne, meanwhile, find themselves at the opposite end of the spectrum after suffering a fourth straight defeat against the Bombers last week.

A win for Richmond could potentially see them back into the top four if results go their way – a massive turnaround for a club that looked a shell of their former selves when the season restarted.

The Kangaroos have received some good news on the injury front with Jack Ziebell set to return from a hamstring injury, while the Trent Cotchin looks likely to miss another game with similar troubles.

Despite what the ladder suggests, the Tigers are still far from their usual selves and there are still a long list of outs for them to overcome this week.

North, on the other hand, only need to rewind back to last years memorable 30-point win over Richmond if they are short on motivation.

The Roos are also 2-0 as the “away” underdog against Richmond, and while this game will be played on neutral turf at Metricon, there’s every chance North keep this one close.
