Richmond Tigers vs North Melbourne Kangaroos Preview
This game will be nothing but a celebration of two legends of the Richmond Football Club on Saturday afternoon as Jack Riewoldt and Trent Cotchin play for the last time.
The chances of an upset here are next to zero, North have lost their past 9 games, the match is at the MCG, and Richmond’s game plan is basically to get down forward and get the ball to Jack.
While the Tigers won’t play finals in 2023, it will be party time at the G and the place will be packed with the yellow and black faithful paying their respects. Richmond won’t stuff this up.
It’s also worth noting that North champion Jack Ziebell will also be playing his last game after 280 appearances for the Kangas.
We’re sentimental in this game and have produced a same-game multi with the three retirees to all feature as they go out in style and the scenes post-match are set to be emotional.
To Ziebs, Cotch, and Jack – thanks for the memories, you’ve all been wonderful for the game.
