The Richmond Tigers will look to continue their march to the ‘G when they face GWS Giants in a preliminary final. The match is scheduled to get started at 4:45pm (AEST) on Saturday, September 23.
Richmond have bounced back incredibly from a poor 2016, rocketing back into the top four after a strong 15-win campaign.
They were frightening in their qualifying final a fortnight ago, suffocating the Cats early before ripping up the final quarter in a 51-point triumph.
Greater Western Sydney limped into the finals after an impressive first half to the season and looked completely done after a heavy loss to Adelaide in their qualifying final.
They made light work of the West Coast Eagles in their semi final though, and with a new-look, smaller line-up could cause the Tigers trouble.
