Richmond Tigers vs Western Bulldogs Preview
No Dustin Martin, Kane Lambert, and Dylan Grimes are in doubt, the Tigers have lost 3 out of their past 4 and face the top-of-the-ladder Western Bulldogs looking to make it a 7-0 start to the season.
Fair to say, a lot of pundits have their “Richmond Dynasty is OVER” hot-takes saved in their drafts and will be ready to hit publish if the game goes according to what the markets suggest.
Richmond was out Richmond-ed by the Dees last week, but you’d be a fool to write them off.
Certain players from the Tigers will need to step up to the plate, but they’ve done this before and have the cattle to do it.
The Western Bulldogs continue to impress, and even with their own injury issues, appear to bat deep, very much looking the goods this season. Playing against the reigning premiers as good a measuring stick you will find.
However, I expect this to be a close encounter, and with the $2 line on offer, taking the Tigers at +11.5 is worth a shot.
