Show Preview
Round 20 concludes with the injury-ravaged Fremantle Dockers taking on the Richmond Tigers in a virtual elimination final in Perth. Follow along with live scores on The Roar from 5:10pm (AEST).
Sitting tenth and twelfth respectively, time is fast running out for the Tigers and Dockers to stake a claim that they deserve a finals berth. Both are coming off big losses in Round 19, with the Dockers starting brightly before fading fast against Sydney, while the Tigers were simply outclassed by Geelong.
Compounding the loss for Freo were season-ending injuries to star duo Nat Fyfe (shoulder) and Michael Walters (hamstring). In years past, losing the captain and the goalsneak would have been just about game over for the Dockers; the time is now to see just what the likes of Andrew Brayshaw, Adam Cerra and Caleb Serong are made of.
Just one win since the byes has left reigning premiers Richmond in a sticky situation with only four rounds to go. However, the eighth-placed Giants are the highest side they’ll face from here on in, so Damien Hardwick’s team are probably still favourites to scrape into the finals. Watch out if they do.
However, they can ill afford to take the Dockers lightly, especially at Optus Stadium. Helping the cause is the return of Dion Prestia from injury, with Marlion Pickett managed out.
