Preview:
Could we be set for a Grand Final preview on Sunday afternoon when the Tigers host the Eagles? Both sides are in form and inside the top four, with the outcome of this one potentially holding plenty of psychological weight ahead of finals.
The Tigers beat the Blues by 28 points last time out, while the Eagles got over the Crows by 10 points.
West Coast has won three of its past four against the Tigers, but this is the first time the pair meet this season. The Eagles have won both of their games at the MCG this season and covered the line both times. They are 11-9 overall against the spread.
The Tigers are 13-7 on the line and an impressive 8-3 at the ‘G in 2019. They are starting to click on all cylinders, winning seven on the trot. The Wolf knows the Eagles turn up for big matches and with a top two spot on the line, they’re a great price to show the Tigers up on Sunday.
