West Coast v Richmond

Saturday, July 19 – 8.10 PM AEST – Venue: Optus Stadium

The bottom two sides face off here, after good performances last week including a win for the Tigers. Balta cant play due to his curfew, and the Eagles will expect to get Liam Ryan and Tim Kelly back into the line-up this week. Watch for Hotten to get on the scoreboard. He is a good mover. Taranto and Reid will also be influential in who wins this match. Reid has given away the most free kicks this year and needs to keep his cool.
