Richmond Tigers vs Hawthorn Hawks Preview
Hawthorn will look to maintain its push towards the top four when it meets Richmond at the MCG in a clash that pits one of the competition’s form sides against a rebuilding Tigers outfit. The Hawks returned to form with an emphatic win over Carlton last week, boosted by the return of experienced defender Jarman Impey, while Nick Watson and Josh Weddle add further depth at an important stage of the season.
Richmond has shown encouraging signs despite another difficult campaign, but recent history favours Hawthorn, which has won the last three meetings by an average margin of more than 50 points. With the Hawks continuing to build momentum and their attacking weapons beginning to click, they will be confident of extending that record and strengthening their finals position.
