Massive Friday night game for our team. Undefeated after 6 rounds up against the reigning premiers. Both sides have some injury issues to attempt to cover.
Key Match Ups:
Midfield v Midfield
Can our mids continue there domination in contested and uncontested possession or will the loss of Dunkley hurt us. The tigers are without a number of their first choice mids which could give us an even bigger advantage. Cannot underestimate them though especially with nankervis in the ruck.
Richmond Defence v Dogs forwards
Who takes naughton, Bruce and schache and can our forwards create separation and force the Richmond defence to compete 1v1. Can naughton have another break out game v the tigers. The tigers defence are experienced and hold their structure very well, our forwards will need to create space and apply pressure.
Key Questions:
Can Schache bring his VFL form to AFL level and fill the English hole this week?
Can our mids continue to dominate without dunks?
Will Hannan provide a point of difference up forward?
Prediction
