West Coast Eagles vs Richmond Tigers Preview
The Tigers face a tough turnaround, heading straight to Perth after a close loss to St Kilda. Richmond showed promise early against the Saints but faltered in the second half. Meanwhile, West Coast displayed glimpses of improvement against Sydney, leading at halftime before ultimately falling short. Despite previous disappointments, the Eagles’ home advantage and recent positive signs suggest they could challenge Richmond, especially considering the Tigers’ consecutive road games. It’s a matchup worth watching, with potential for West Coast to make a statement on their home turf.
