Richmond Tigers vs Collingwood Magpies Preview
Richmond returned to winning ways with an absolute thumping of West Coast to the tune of 109 points.
They also returned to 9th on the AFL ladder.
They had 40 scoring shots from 65 inside 50s and went at 70.8% when entering their forward 50 which is an incredible strike rate.
A problem for Richmond has been stringing together good performances and they are yet to put together back to back wins so far this season.
On the flip side, the Pies come into this clash on the back of two wins against Essendon and Gold Coast.
Richmond have not had a good time of it as the punters’ elect having lost eight of their last 10 when favourites and four of Collingwood’s last five matches have been decided by 15 points or less.
I’m really struggling to find a winner straight out here but I’m tipping a close one.
