Odds:
Richmond 1.83 :o
West Coast 2.00
https://www.luxbet.com/index.php?cPath=3890&event_id=183046&market_type_id=-#go_
Preview: Richmond v West Coast
WHO WILL WIN AND WHY?
The Tigers have the better recent record with a win a couple of weeks ago, although the Eagles pushed the Cats for three quarters at Subiaco last week. Expect the Tigers' midfield to get enough ball to Jack Riewoldt and the other Tiger forwards to kick a winning score.
PREDICTION:
Tigers by 21 points :o

I don't feel we deserve the favourites tag this week. We've shown a bit lately but if WC shut Riewoldt out of the game that's most of our scoring potential gone. I think we have the better midfield but weaker ruck which should even out the centre contest. I'd like to be confident but I can't manage it at the moment... :-\

v strange to see us fav :o

Bookies are going to suck alot of Richmond fans in who'll part with their hard earned only for the Eagles at $2 being thieving money.
If I recall correctly the Eagles were in the vicinity of $3 when they played Melbourne at the G who had won 3 on the trot and had lost unluckily to the Dogs in round 7.
As much as it pains me I think the Eagles are certs. I hope I am terribly wrong. :pray

Ill Be THERE !!! :jump :jump :jump :jump

Riewoldt will have to kick 8+ for us to win

We are play WC not Geelong 8). I expect us to win

I think if Glass comes back and plays well that would be important but if Foley and Jackson hit the ground running... I think we should be favourites but far from confident

Hardwick's call to arms
richmondfc.com.au
2:50 PM Thu 10 June, 2010
Richmond coach Damien Hardwick has urged Tiger fans to create a hostile environment for the travelling West Coast Eagles at the MCG on Sunday for the Round 12 battle.
The Tigers are coming off a month of solid performances, including a win against Port Adelaide and a narrow three-point loss to Hawthorn.
They play 14th-placed West Coast at 1.10pm on Sunday, in what will be the Club’s last home game until the Round 14 clash with Sydney on July 4.
“We would love to see a huge turn-out of Richmond fans at the G on Sunday, to give the boys really strong backing,” Hardwick said.
“The West Coast supporters are renowned for creating a cauldron-like atmosphere at Subiaco, so we want to recreate the same sort of thing at the MCG.
“We’ve got the most passionate fans in the league, and we want to make it as uncomfortable for the Eagles as we can by filling the stands on Sunday with Yellow and Black.”

Favourites Tigers in a rare place
WA today
June 12, 2010
It's a rare status for Richmond this year but a tribute to the team's gradual improvement over the past month.
The Tigers will go into Sunday's clash with West Coast at the MCG as favourites - even though they are on the bottom of the AFL ladder.
Coach Damien Hardwick, though, is apparently unflattered. He says the team's short odds are irrelevant.
"I don't pay much attention to the bookmakers, but we go into every game thinking we can win," Hardwick said.
"We'll just go out there, play our game and hopefully come out on top."
Richmond broke their winless drought against Port Adelaide in round 10 but even though it is their sole win, Harwick said the players continue to be enthusiastic and improvements are being made incrementally.
"Granted we'd love some more wins but our competitive nature in our guys is starting to come to the forefront and they're dying to sing that (club) song again," he said.
"We've only sung it once this year but they're looking forward to hopefully singing it again this week.
"I think the enthusiasm of the group is outstanding and that's what happens when you have such a young group and West Coast are pretty much the same."
Hardick said that Richmond and West Coast were similar, in having developing player lists.
"I think it's going to be a very evenly matched game from that point of view," he said.
"We're both sides that are very much on the redevlopment phase so it will be a great game for both clubs to see where they're at."
Richmond will bring back Daniel Jackson and Daniel Connors for the match along with key forward Ben Griffiths for just his second senior game.
However midfielder Nathan Foley has been kept in cotton wool for another week or two as he recovers from an ankle problem.
Connors returns after serving an eight-match club-imposed ban for an alcohol-fuelled incident in a hotel after Richmond's round three game against Sydney at the SCG.
Hardwick said forward Josh Kennedy was the most vital part of the Eagles' attack and the club had concentrated on trying to defuse his influence.
"Kennedy's been in stellar form and I think half of his goals have come in the first quarter, so we'll be very much focused in that area," Hardwick said.
"I think he's kicked 30-odd goals this year and a couple of a bags of five, so he's a guy we'll be having a keen eye on," he said.

west coast = no heart!
11.5 to 3.5
jack with six goals
half time.

Good win.
When ever West Coast pushed us we countered, although WCE were hopeless. I took a lot more out of the Port win.
Everyone did there job and I think in the 2nd haf we took the foot off the gas a bit.
The Jack Riewoldt show. :thumbsup (lets trade him... :rollin :rollin)

Riewoldt and Griffiths must kick 10 goals between them!

They didn't exactly share the load, did they?

Torch didt say 5 each. But he was correct without those 10 we would have lost. Keep it up Torch :bow

ROFL!

disappointed Griffiths did not kick a goal, three touches.

Griffiths was a great foil for Jack, definitely took led defenders away from his space

King is a keeper, played his role to perfection.
:thumbsup

how is someone a keeper after one or two decent performances? if he continues in the same way until the end of the season then maybe he survives, but for mine hes still on the list chopping block.
