Preview:
If Saturday’s game turns out anything like last year’s Round 23 thriller, we should be in for a real treat.
The Tigers survived a scare last year against the Dogs to win by three-points, but if recent form is anything to go by, Richmond should have no trouble laying on the hurt against Luke Beveridge’s side this time around.
Richmond stormed home to yet another Anzac Eve victory last week winning by 43-points. The good news is Jason Castagna booted three goals, which became even more meaningful on Saturday after the club announced Jack Riewoldt will miss eight weeks with a PCL injury.
The Dogs escaped Perth unscathed last week, but they failed to secure three points against Fremantle. To their credit, the Doggies fought back to lead midway through the third quarter, but that wasn’t enough to stop David Mundy who booted a pair of goals in his 300th game.
The last three encounters between these two sides have been decided by 10-points or less, but it’s tough to imagine the Dogs mustering up a fight this week. The red and blue lead the league in behinds, a similar story to last year, and even without Riewoldt on the field, the Tigers should still be able to dominate the inside 50’s.
