The Herald-Sun is tipping us to finish 6th and play North in an Elimination Final at the 'G:
RICHMONDLadder position: 5 (52pts, 120.2%)
R22: Essendon (MCG) W
R23: North Melbourne (MCG) L
Predicted finish: 6th (56pts)
We say: The Tigers have unlocked scoring power to go with a stingy defence. Needs to win both and hope Sydney falters to pinch fourth place.
Champion Data says: Round 21 results saw Richmond secure their place in September and are locked in a battle with the Western Bulldogs and North Melbourne for spots 5-7. The Tigers sit just four points behind Sydney in fourth but are 22 per cent chances to earn at double chance. An elimination final against the Bulldogs looms as the most likely.
