Preview:

RICHMOND played a game of two halves against North Melbourne last week forfeiting a half-time lead of 35 points to lose by 28. It was another chapter in the Tigers’ disappointing season that leaves them searching for answers, with just three wins for the year. Fremantle’s charge into the second half of the season gained more momentum on Sunday when the Dockers beat Adelaide at Patersons Stadium. The win makes it four from their last five and continues their rise up the ladder into sixth, with a kind draw that will likely see them start as favourites at least until round 20.
