Show Preview
A twilight special takes place in the city of churches this afternoon, with the Adelaide Crows playing host to the Richmond Tigers. Join The Roar for live scores, coverage and analysis from 4:35pm (AEST).
Both teams are placed in the middle of the AFL ladder, with Richmond having the most success in this fixture over the past couple of seasons.
Last week’s game against Essendon was stolen from the Crows in the dying minutes of the match, with Sam Draper kicking the sealer to sink the visitors. Adelaide were chasing on the scoreboard for 90 per cent of the game, but stayed in touch with the Bombers throughout the match.
Rory Laird continued his dominance in the midfield with 38 disposals and 8 clearances. Ben Keays is one of the most underrated inside-midfielders in the competition, with an absolutely dominating display of offence and defence. His output included 39 pressure acts, 27 disposals, 12 tackles, five clearances and a goal.
In the forward line, Taylor Walker marked his return to the side with four goals, and young gun Josh Rachele, was not too far behind him with three of his own.
Richmond dominated the Bulldogs from start to finish last week. During the opening quarter, they trailed on the scoreboard, but the Bulldogs were disappointing in front of goal and the Tigers made the most of their chances to run away with it in the second half.
Jayden Short continued his dominance off half-back, amassing 35 disposals (including 29 kicks) and 810m gained for the match. Dion Prestia picked up where he left off on return from a hamstring injury with 30 disposals, 7 marks and 3 tackles. These two are vital to Richmond’s success this year with the absence of a number of champion players.
Tom Lynch and Shai Bolton continue to get it done in front of goal. I also wanted to give an honourable mention to Jack Riewoldt and his torpedo punt goal after the three-quarter time siren.
Prediction
I think with the inclusion of Vlaustin and the dominance the Tigers showed last week, they will win this one by 13 points.
