Crazy odds for a team that has won one game

Crazy odds for a team that has won one game

They have been pretty competitive in a lot of their matches in the past 1-2 months. We just scraped past them at the G and our form, not withstanding the win on the weekend has been mostly bad.

Not surprised they are favourites.

[Wazza]

Considering we have played mostly top 8 sides last 5 wks (not inc Essendon) and eagles have been beaten as badly as we have against the similar teams, I feel it's a very 50/50 match just like last time out.
Let's hope we can travel well and pick up a W from the boys.
 

[Hard Roar Tiger]

A great opportunity for the Eagles to post their 2nd (and probably last) win for season 2025. As much as I would like a win, the cards aren’t stacked in favour of a victory.

West Coast v Richmond Preview

17 July 2025

The battle of the rebuilds resumes in Perth on Saturday night.

Richmond edged West Coast by two points the last time the two teams met at the MCG back in Round 9 - remember that Tom Brown tackle?

On that occasion the Tigers entered as favourites but the script has been slightly flipped this time around. The Eagles are narrowly favoured to win this one.

Andrew McQualter’s side took it right up to Port Adelaide last weekend before being run over the top of. But there were plenty of positive signs.

Adem Yze’s Tigers ticked off a fourth win of the campaign by beating Essendon in a forgettable Saturday night contest. But a win’s a win and it will do the Tiger cubs no harm at all to grind out close victories.

This contest pits the two lowest scoring teams and two of the three worst defensive sides against each other. So don’t expect this to be an all-out scoring affair.

But what we can expect will be competitiveness around the ball from two youthful teams looking to have a crack.

Richmond’s scoring woes are evident. The Tigers haven’t hit over 50 for five weeks.

West Coast’s attacking ability isn’t much better, but at home on the back of a positive showing, they should narrowly get the job done here.

It could go either way, but for the sake of a tip the Eagles should nab their second win of the season.

Prediction: West Coast by 6 points.
