Hawthorn Hawks vs Richmond Tigers Preview

For the first time this season Richmond has put together back to back wins after taking care of West Coast and Collingwood in thee past two weeks.

Despite some alarming stats, the Tiges have found a way to win.

They have more clangers than any other team in season 2022 and turn the football over more often as well.

77 times they gave the football back against the Pies.

Their pressure on the opposition has improved dramatically and their accurate goal kicking has certainly helped mainly thanks to Tom Lynch who leads the Coleman Medal with 27.13 for the season.

Hawthorn looked the winner for the majority of the game against Essendon but, like they have all season, they struggled to stem the flow of scoring once it started.

They were in front for 92 minutes of the game only to be run over late but there was still plenty to like about the performance.

In each of Richmond’s last nine matches at the MCG, the highest scoring half has been the second. and I can see this game opening up after half time.
