Richmond Tigers vs Carlton Blues Preview

The reigning premiers will kick off season 2021 with what has become a traditional fixture against rivals Carlton.

No surprise to see Richmond head into this one as the short priced favourites. They’re tipped to once again be one of the teams to beat this year.

Carlton have made list improvements in the off-season andhave had a longer pre-season than the Tigers so I’m not ruling them out but sticking with Richmond here.
