Tigers v Bombers
I’m picking this to be the scratch match of the round. There will be blood, there will be contention, there will be glory for the winner, there will be heartache for the loser. There will be footy!
For Richmond to win they’ll need to play like they did against Hawthorne last week: fast, free, and ferocious. I think the young Richmond side has a lot to offer, a lot of excitement. Jack Riewoldt is far more exhilarating to watch than his namesake cousin and, with the maturity and experience of the Ben Cousins inclusion, I’m at a loss as to why the Tigers have blown out to a four dollar upset.
The Bombers, who only have three games to their season, are an up-and-down side who have real potential to choke against a wooden spoon opponent. With their 2010 finals hopes on the line, they have a lot more to lose than the restless Tigers.
If Richmond plays to their strengths and keeps the ball flying quickly over the contest, they should sneak home with the points.
I’m tipping the Tigers to take down their first win of the season…
By ten points.
