West Coast Eagles vs Richmond Tigers Preview
West Coast covered the line for the second week in a row when they lost to the Brisbane Lions by a whopping 81 points at the Gabba last weekend.
That last sentence proves just how poorly the Eagles have been this season but they do get the home ground advantage in this game.
Richmond has had a mini revival in recent weeks and find themselves just one game, and percentage, outside the top 8.
A belting at the hands of the Lions was a cause for concern but they bounced back with an impressive performance against Sydney.
This line seems small and Richmond needs two beat the Eagles by two goals each quarter to cover it.
