Richmond Tigers vs Western Bulldogs Preview
The Tigers ain’t what they used to be and Saturday nights clash against the Western Bulldogs at the MCG is a big one in terms of Richmond’s 2022 season.
It’s the same for the 1-2 Western Bulldogs, who registered their first win for the year against the Swans last week.
Richmond is 3 wins – 1 draw and 9 losses in their last 13 games, they didn’t play finals last year and giving up 2nd half lead to be run off their feet has become an emerging trend.
While there are some significant players out in this one, it’s hard to work out just what Tigers or Dogs side will turn up for this match.
Each of Richmond’s last five matches have gone OVER the total match points line, but with pressure on both sides expect the coaching staff to put a halt to the fast pace attacking footy the majority of people love.
Expect a defensive hit out and the Under 170.5 points looks a good bet.
