West Coast Eagles vs Richmond Tigers Preview
It’s rare you’ll find an away team the clear favourite when playing the Eagles in Perth, but Richmond is a mighty and unique team.
As has been the case in recent years, the Tigers can be slow starters out of the blocks, very much in the belief of the marathon, not a sprint mantra, but last Saturday night’s performance against the Dons in the Dreamtime game reminded the footy world that Richmond is still the team to beat.
In a clash between 7th placed West Coast and 8th placed Richmond, this shapes up as the game of the round.
West Coast managed to notch up a big win on the road against the Blues in Sydney, but the injury list is piling up and the opponent is far more daunting this week, even if it is at Optus Stadium.
It’s clear that Richmond is a manual, not an automatic model of footy team, and the Tigers have found that extra gear within striking distance of the finals.
The mojo is back at Tigerland, and this does not bode well for the Eagles this Sunday night.
Tigers at the line and the over.
