Show Preview
Richmond and Sydney find themselves in the bottom six, and with the stakes high, the losing team tonight will face an uphill battle to have a chance at making the finals. Join The Roar for live scores, coverage and analysis from 7:20pm (AEST).
Richmond has taken decisive action following their disappointing loss to Brisbane last week, with several changes made to the line-up. Unfortunately, Jayden Short will miss due to injury, but the Tigers welcome back Dion Prestia, Dustin Martin and Maurice Rioli Jr. Additionally, Jacob Bauer and Sam Banks will make their much-anticipated AFL debuts.
On the other hand, Noah Cumberland, Samson Ryan, Judson Clarke and Jack Ross have been dropped.
Sydney kicked poorly last week against Geelong and ultimately the match ended in a draw. They dominated shots at goal and managed to hit the post four times in the final quarter.
For the Swans, Lance Franklin is set to make his return in what will be his final game at the MCG unless his team manages to reach finals. The Swans will also welcome back defender Tom McCartin, who has been recovering from a prolonged concussion battle. Joel Amartey and Aaron Francis have been omitted.
The match tonight will be won and lost in the forward line with both sides struggling to convert in front of goal for the majority of the season.
It is unlikely either team will make finals – but tonight is do or die for both in that regard.
