Show Preview

The Fremantle Dockers return to Optus Stadium to host the Richmond Tigers in a Sunday afternoon clash. Join The Roar for all the action with live scores and a blog of the match from 5:20pm AEST.

Last Sunday afternoon, Fremantle fell short in a highly contested and incredibly low-scoring match against the Adelaide Crows.

The scoreline at half-time wasn’t pretty: 1.6. (12) to 2.2. (14), and it was the Crows who broke open the scoring-draught with a little bit of Fremantle carelessness and some help from the umpires.

Fremantle hit back in the final term, but were never able to put themselves in front and lost by 17-points when the final siren sounded.

Richmond also lost in Round 7, receiving a 47-point thumping in Saturday night clash with the Western Bulldogs at Marvel Stadium.

After a tight first half – the Tigers even led at the first change – the Bulldogs piled on five goals in a row in the third term and a further three in the last, to take a convincing victory.

The Tigers are in a tough position; missing some key players they are vulnerable.

Beaten in the air single-handedly by Aaron Naughton, Richmond coach Damien Hardwick suggested even “Jesus Christ… would’ve struggled on him.”

They’re still in a very good position at four wins and three losses, but it is a very tight race around the top eight at the minute.

Fremantle have made just a single change for the clash. Cam McCarthy has been omitted after a quiet showing last weekend, versatile tall Brennan Cox is into the side.

Richmond have been forced to make two changes through injury.

Daniel Rioli is out with a corked quad and general soreness, while Nick Vlastuin will miss with a rolled ankle.

Defender’s David Astbury and Ryan Garthwaite take their places in the line-up.

These two teams last met in round seven, 2018 where the Tigers absolutely crushed the Dockers in a 77-point victory at the MCG.

Prediction
A year later and what a different story this could be. Fremantle and Richmond are equal on points, and at the start of the round the Dockers placed fifth with a superior percentage, while the Tigers sat ninth.

It’s a difficult one to tip, but at home, Fremantle have the edge.

If Fremantle take the game on, flex their muscles going forward and hold their defensive structure as they have through the first seven rounds, it should be a good afternoon for the Dockers.

Fremantle by 13 points.
