A week after reluctantly handing the 2020 Premiership Cup to its rightful owner in the 2020 Grand Final rematch, Richmond heads to its favourite concrete jungle in the 2019 Grand Final rematch rematch to try win back the 2019 cup. 8 rounds in and Richmond finds itself in uncomfortable, but not necessarily unfamiliar territory, with injuries mounting and patchy football being played. Meanwhile the Giants have breathed life back into their season with a strong month after a shaky start, and now appear to be very much in the hunt. It should be noted the Giants have sizeable injury list of their own.History
Richmond and GWS have such a long and storied rivalry it would be impossible to do it justice here. Instead, enjoy this pictorial summary of some classic Richmond v GWS moments.Jack Riewoldt 11.1 (67) def GWS 6.5 (41)
Dimma sprays
Huge player defections
Richmond forgot to kick goals once
"Double deja vu"
A brutal murder
And last, but not least
This guy debuted
Teams
Both teams are a revolving door of injuries, I honestly have no idea what either team will do so I will leave the insight to others. All I can say is I look forward to selection melts, hopefully returning to the traditional Thursday timeslot.Tip
I expect the tigers to come out fired up after a disappointing result on Friday night. From what we have seen this year our best is still irresistible. Our defence will be significantly strengthened by the return of Grimes, and Vlastuin will clearly be better for the run on Friday night. We need to keep in touch with the top 4 to give ourselves a platform and with Brisbane in Brisbane awaiting, a win this Saturday is vital. Richmond by 23.
