Show Preview

It’s an early elimination final to kick off Round 21 as the Richmond Tigers battle the GWS Giants looking to take their spot in the top eight. Follow the action from Marvel Stadium with live scores on The Roar from 7:50pm (AEST).

Both these two sides are coming off crucial wins in Round 20, as the logjam for the final two places in the eight grows ever tighter. With Essendon facing a helpful run home, it’s likely the Tigers and the Giants will need to win this match plus their Round 23 encounters to scrape into the finals – and even that might not be enough.

For the Giants, the week has been dominated by their unsuccessful appeals to free Toby Greene from his one-match suspension for an elbow on Patrick Dangerfield, during their club-defining win over Geelong last Friday night. They’ll be without their acting captain and talisman for this one, but if they show the spirit they did last week, the Giants will be in good stead.

After a sluggish start, the Tigers eventually ran away from the last-placed Kangaroos in a welcome return to the winners’ list, having one just once previously since the byes. The two-time reigning premiers are still a side no one will want to face in the finals, but in the form they’re in, Damien Hardwick’s men will be up against it to even make it to September.

Leon Cameron has rung the changes for this must-win game, and the cavalry has responded to the call. Stars Josh Kelly and Jacob Hopper are both back after missing Round 20, while key forward Jesse Hogan and ruckman Shane Mumford are also among the six ins. As for the Tigers, they have the luxury of going in unchanged.
