No surprise when you think about it
Bookies aren't going to be seduced by Swans 25 goal belting of the Eagles. Outside of that their form has been very average
Until Tgursday night our form's been good and we'd beaten teams above us
-
Sydney comfortably beat us in Adelaide. Not so sure
-
Sydney comfortably beat us in Adelaide. Not so sure
Not saying we will win or should be favourites
But a win 10 weeks ago wouldn't amount to much in the bookies eyes I would have thought
Recent form over the last month is all they'd be interested in
-
Sydney will jump much closer than their current odds.

The Swans will welcome back Buddy Franklin for their crucial clash against Richmond at the MCG on Thursday night.
Franklin will replace Joel Amartey in the side, who has been managed after returning from a serious injury last month.
Chad Warner will miss at least one more match as he recovers from a calf strain.
Franklin could be joined back in the side by defender Tom McCartin.

Can the Swans beat the Tigers at the MCG on Thursday?
The Swans have an imposing record against Richmond, but have been blown off the park in their last two at the MCG.
Alex Donnelly
Code
July 5, 2023
RICHMOND TIGERS: $1.68 (via Ladbrokes)
SYDNEY SWANS: $2.25 (via betr)
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING AT
Sydney has won the first quarter in each of its last nine matches against opponents that were ranked in the bottom four.
Richmond have only won three of nine games at the MCG in 2023.
THE MATCH-UP
Round 17 of the AFL kicks off with what’s essentially an elimination final, as both the Tigers and Swans are separated only by percentage on the ladder and both in desperate need of a win to keep slim chances of finals footy afloat.
Richmond were humbled by Brisbane last week to the tune of 81 points, while the Swans played out a thrilling draw against Geelong, a game it absolutely should have won if not for some shambolic goal kicking.
These clubs last met at the Adelaide Oval during Gather Round, seeing Sydney claim a 122-78 victory behind a dominant 46-9 final quarter. Tom Papley was immense during that fixture, kicking a career-best six goals from 25 disposals. His form has tapered off dramatically since then.
That was the third consecutive win for the Swans against Richmond. Sydney also kicked over 100 points in all three games.
RICHMOND BOUNCE BACK
Last Thursday night at the Gabba was a horror show for the Tigers; one goal in the first half was just not good enough as Brisbane ran riot.
Tim Taranto – 30+ disposals:
Tim Taranto had his first poor game for Richmond, only managing 21 disposals, which was well down on his average of 31 so far this season. In round five against the Swans, however, Taranto had 34 disposals and will be looking to bounce back in a big way.
Shai Bolton – 20+ disposals & 2 + goals:
Shai Bolton had a quiet game last weekend, which he is known to do now and then. Prior to that he had kicked 13 goals in eight games, as well as having 20 or more touches in six of those eight games. He is the catalyst for Richmond’s chances on Thursday.
SYDNEY FORGET LAST WEEK AND MOVE ON
Yes the Swans should have won last week against Geelong, but at least they didn’t lose?
The Swans should head into this weekend full of confidence: the Swans have played better each week since their bye. If that upward trend continues, they should take care of Richmond on Thursday to make it four wins in a row.
Lance Franklin 3+ goals:
Lance Franklin returns for what will more than likely be his last game at the MCG (unless the Swans make finals) in what is sure to be an emotional night for the champ, who has averaged three goals at the MCG from 113 games.
Errol Gulden 25+:
Errol Gulden is fast becoming a favourite at CODE Bet and on the CODE Bet Daily podcast: he’s taken a big step forward this season and in the last three weeks he has had 27, 32 and 26 disposals along with five goals. Errol has at least one goal in six of his last seven matches.
Braeden Campbell – 15+ disposals:
Angus Sheldrick – 20+ disposals:
Two young and unheralded players in the Swans midfield ranks are Braeden Campbell and Angus Sheldrick, both were fantastic against Geelong. Campbell kicked two important goals and now after 40 games of AFL footy looks set to take the next step.
The same goes for Angus Sheldrck who has had 69 possessions in the last three games to go along with three goals.
PAPLEY TO FIRE UP
Tom Papley – 15+ disposals & 2+ goals:
It feels weird to say that Tom Papley is not in great form at the moment despite kicking at least one goal in 14 of 15 games this season, with a total of 25 for the year.
He did kick six of those 25 against Richmond in round five and hasn’t kicked more than two goals in a game since.
But in eight games against Richmond Papley has 16 goals at a perfect two a game, as well as averaging 15 disposals a game. If he has 15 and two on Thursday the Swans will likely win.
THE PICK
With those three straight wins over Richmond, the Swans clearly have had the wood over Richmond in recent years. Despite three straight losses at the MCG for Sydney, the Swans should be slightly too good for the undermanned Tigers.

Richmond v Sydney preview
Charles Goodsir
SEN
6 July 2023
Round 17 of the 2023 AFL Premiership season kicks off at the MCG where the Richmond Tigers are set to host the Sydney Swans on Thursday night.
Both sides come into this contest with a 6-8-1 record following the Swans’ disappointing draw against Geelong. Sydney arguably played the perfect game against the reigning premiers and dominated for four quarters but were simply unable to execute in front of goal with an inaccurate 6.18.
Lance Franklin is in line to return in what will likely be his final game ever at the MCG. The Swans have also won their past three encounters against the Tigers dating back to Round 3 2021.
Richmond are coming off the back of an 81-point thrashing against the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba and would be eager to bounce back in front of their home crowd.
After a rocky start to the year amd some criticism from sections of the media, Tim Taranto has easily been Richmond’s best in 2023 and has built a strong case for an All-Australian blazer at season’s end.
Richmond and Sydney are 1.5 wins outside the top eight and a loss could spell the end of one of the season for one of these teams.
Tip: Sydney by 22 points

THE 4 CERTAINTIES FOR RICHMOND VERSUS SYDNEY
Jack Makeham & Seb Mottram
SEN
6 July 2023
Tim Taranto 25+ disposals, 7+ tackles
Tim Taranto will have to set an example tonight.
The Tigers were completely devoid of life last week against the Lions, playing with some of the lowest intensity levels that we have seen from them all season.
In order to bounce back from this, Richmond will look to the man that has led the team in work rate all season.
Taranto paces the Tigers in both disposals and tackles, leaving everything on the field on both sides of the ball.
Averaging 31.3 touches and 6.9 tackles per game this season, the star midfielder should pile up the stats once again tonight.
Shai Bolton 18+ disposals and a goal
Last week aside, Shai Bolton has been on a stretch of blistering form since starting off the year slower than expected.
The Tiger is averaging 24.3 touches and 1.5 goals per game over the last two months, boasting multiple games with over 30 touches.
Along with most of Richmond’s squad, he was one who didn’t have a good night against the Lions, and will certainly be looking to bounce back.
Expect Bolton to step up in what is looking like a do-or-die affair for the Tigers.
Papley to kick at least one goal
He’s only gone goalless once this year, loves the big stage and fires up when his side needs a win.
It’s all set up for Tom Papley. Richmond had no answers for the 26-year-old star Swan in Gather Round when Papley put six goals on the Tigers. He’s also got 11 goals in his last three games against Richmond.
Richmond’s defence could leak again in Round 17 and Papley would be the beneficiary with a big game. But even in a tight one, he'll hit the scoreboard.
Gulden to have 20+ disposals & 5+ inside 50s
Errol Gulden has proved one of the major beneficiaries of Chad Warner’s ongoing absence and the star Swan is primed for another big game on Thursday night.
One of the smoothest movers in the game, Gulden cut the Tigers to ribbons in Round 5 with 25 touches and a whopping 12 inside 50s.
He hasn’t gone below 26 touches in his last three and for a player just about to turn 21, is impressively improving as the season goes on.

THE TEAMS UNDER THE MOST PRESSURE HEADING INTO ROUND 17
SEN’s Dwayne Russell has named the teams under the most pressure heading into Round 17.
3 & 4 – Sydney & Richmond
“It’s hard to split these two given tonight’s game is an elimination final, Sydney and Richmond. Maybe it’s Sydney at three, expected to make the finals after the Grand Final last year, Richmond is having a reset year.
“Three very recent flags in the bank and a new coach with his L plates on, even though at the start of the year when they recruited Jacob Hopper and Tim Taranto it was meant to be a year in contention, but if it’s a rest year, it’s a reset year.
“I think Richmond are not going to fall off the cliff but they are searching for a new coach, so I think Sydney’s probably under more pressure to get the win tonight. But it’s a tight one.”

Agreee. Dumb dumb dumb. Especially as a leader. Seriously

Crazy handballing in the back half :banghead.
-
Everyone involved in that last chain is an absolute goose. Just one hospital handpass after another.
-
Training drill for the Swans.
As soft and embarrassing as last week.
-
Are we allergic to kicking as first option?! :banghead.
-
This is terrible.
Our forward line is useless.
And the umpires are stinking too.
Pack of stuffing witches hats.
-
F Bolton too you stuffwit
-
Came back from the bye with absolute no interest. Players will lead one time at best and then not bother moving after that.
-
We're playing like we've never played together before. No cohesion.
-
As I post that we've pulled out a goal from Ross lol :gotigers.
Rich 4.3-27
Syd 7.5-47
-
F Bolton too you stuffwit
How bad was it? Lol
Had Riewoldt open short for an eternity then once that drew the defender he had someone long free right in front of goal and then uncontested kicks it straight to the swannies defender.
-
2 different rules for htb out there. Swans player tries to fend off and no call our way.

Why not take that shot Miller? Dusty wasn';t going to kick it from 60 out.
28 - 48

Desperate and skillful by Bolts. Cotch goal :gotigers

Fantastic by bolts.
-
Every time we get a goal to get back into the game in comes the Umps with a free for the Swans ::).

Hooray! We actually got a free.
Nank held in the ruck from the F50 throw-in.
Poster :P. Got to kick those.
35 - 48
-
:facepalm
Whoever is the new coach needs to focus on us protecting the defensive side of contests.
-
Much better transition Tiges. Taranto to Miller.
Misses as well.
All 4 set shots missed this quarter and they weren't hard shots either :banghead.

I know we shouldn’t sink the boots into a first gamer but I know why Sam banks hasn’t debuted earlier. Still a bit I composed and has had some really bad turnovers

It was 3-8 at one stage in the 2nd qtr Damo. They paid and made up quite a few late in the quarter (Balta was lucky with the downfield free IMO. Ball came off the side of his boot before Buddy's bump).
-
Nank and miller misses hurt so much
-
Nank in trouble with the MRO given our record :P.
No
Nank is in trouble because he should be in trouble
Zero to do with our record
Will have a stint on the sidelines and deservedly so
Nank deserves to cop a 2-3 whack.
It was stupid and showed a complete lack of discipline and more than anything zero leadership.
-
Time to give Jack Riewoldt 4 weeks rest and come back as a wingman aka RICHO. His days as a fwd are done. We play one man down up forward every time he plays now.
Take the captaincy away from Grimes and esp Bank. Time to make Baker captain .
Our pathetic brain fades and skills , basic skills are killing us
-
Nank in trouble with the MRO given our record :P.
No

Richmond 2.1 5.6 8.12 12.16-88
Sydney 4.3 8.6 10.8 11.9-75
Goals: Graham 2, Ross 2, Riewoldt, Martin, Miller, Cotchin, Pickett, Baker, Nankervis, Vlastuin.
We were the better side after quarter time and the clearance dominance and 8 more scoring shots show that. Made it harder for ourselves with our set shot goalkicking but we kicked them when they mattered in the end and ran out the game stronger.

Lucky to win. We played so poorly. Swans are a bottom 4-5 team this year. Nanks bump was so dumb. No leadership at all displayed there and it’s not tough. Play the ball. His last quarter was huge though.

We weren't lucky. We deserved it. Just took us a while to get into the groove. They were only dominant from our mistakes .
Once we settled into our style we dominated them.
Great coaching. Mini is switched on

Nank centre clearance.
Dusty with the sealer :gotigers
Rich 12.16-88
Syd 11.9-75
What a big brain move it was from McLean (I think) who had nank wrapped up in a standing tackle right after the graham goal and decided to let him go as if you can get a holding the ball free kick if a tackle isn’t applied. Nank just said thank you very much, booted it into the fwd line and dusty goaled.

Missed easy goals in first half. Swans can only play football in dry weather. Glad to beat them. Had the wood on us for a while.

AFL Report Card: Round 17
Ben Cotton and David Zita
Fox Sports
July 10th, 2023
RICHMOND
The Tigers can still smell September. Andrew McQualter’s side kept its season alive in an important win over Sydney, bouncing to life in the second half of the MCG clash to run over the top of the Swans in a thriller. It wasn’t without casualties though, including debutant Jacob Bauer suffering a hamstring injury in the first two minutes with just his second kick, while Toby Nankervis is set to cop a suspension for a hit on Jake Lloyd.
In the votes
Nankervis put the team on his back in the second half to really rally the troops, finishing with 19 touches – 12 contested – one goal and 33 hit-outs to give his midfield first use. Shai Bolton (31 disposals – game-high 17 contested) also had some bright moments, while Jack Graham, as he consistently seems to, popped up with two crucial goals including the match-sealer in the fourth quarter.
Room for improvement
Consistency is still a question mark of these Tigers in a game that was a genuine tale of two halves. For Richmond to have a genuine chance of playing finals, it’ll need to emulate its form from the second half more regularly, especially given McQualter’s side has little margin for error for the remainder of the season amid a logjam of sides in top eight contention.

OVERREACTIONS, POSITIVES & NEGATIVES FOR ROUND 17
Andrew Slevison
SEN
10 July 2023
(https://images.ctfassets.net/u8w3l566ay8a/XJY56qJcUzAA8ZfxfZGXm/dee60ab55a43a51073c88025240384b2/AFL_Club_banners_-_2022-10-12T153956.739.png)
The Key Takeaway: Rare come-from-behind win
Richmond hasn’t had much luck when trailing at three-quarter time in 2023. In five attempts prior, the Tigers failed to get over the top when behind at the final break.
Andrew McQualter first masterminded a much-needed single-figure win over GWS in Round 12.
Now he has a precious come-from-behind victory on his Richmond CV after he oversaw a four-goal final term to Sydney’s one.
The Tigers started poorly but worked into it nicely, particularly after half-time, to come away with a gritty 12-point triumph which keeps them in touch with the eight.
The Positive: Bouncing back from Brisbane battering
The Tigers were battered by the Lions in Brisbane, going down by 81 points in Round 16.
It was intriguing to see if that was an aberration or a sign of things to come. To play four poor quarters against the Lions and then 1.5 average quarters against the Swans is tough to come back from, but they managed to completely alter things on the run.
Richmond’s midfield was dwarfed by Brisbane’s last week, but the on-ball unit was aided by the returns of Dustin Martin and Dion Prestia.
They helped with the contested possession and stoppage side of the game where the Tigers excelled, helping contribute greatly to the win.
The performance was very tough after a bleak beginning and is the type of win to take plenty away from, apart from the invaluable four points.
What they need to tweak: Set shot kicking
Richmond finished poorly from set shots last Thursday night.
The Tigers kicked 12.16 overall with their inaccuracy largely down to their set shots at goal which finished at 4.9.
They need to go away and work hard on their set shot kicking this week, much like Melbourne did - and that worked a treat for them.
The Tigers will need all the help they can get if they want to play finals. Helping themselves in front of goal is a major step.
