THE CERTAINTIES FOR THE REST OF ROUND 2Andrew Slevison
SEN
26 March 2022Richmond v GWSBalta and Bolton to combine for 3+ goalsNoah Balta started the loss to Carlton in defence, but quickly became Richmond’s most dangerous tall forward, kicking two goals.
With Jack Riewoldt sidelined, he should get even more opportunity in attack.
Shai Bolton was the Tigers’ best against the Blues with three goals and with no Dustin Martin, there will be more responsibility on him to fire in the midfield/forward role.
The Balta-Bolton duo should combine for three or more goals against the Giants.
Green to have 25+ disposalsTom Green was immense in the Giants’ loss to Sydney in Round 1, finishing with 31 touches and eight clearances.
He is fast emerging as the club’s best young midfielder and is primed for a big match against a Richmond side that was mauled in the midfield by Carlton.
Green should rack up 25 touches as he’ll likely get his hands on the ball first at the contest. You can throw in four-plus clearances into the certainty bucket as well, especially now that Dion Prestia and Martin are out for the Tiges.
The Tigers will need to slow down Green and his midfield mates Tim Taranto, Josh Kelly, Callan Ward and Stephen Coniglio if they are any chance of winning on Sunday.
