Geelong Cats vs Richmond Tigers Preview
Richmond finds themselves in sixth position through 14 rounds of football on the back of six wins from their last seven games.
Although they are not winning by big margins, they have contributors across the field.
Pressure on the ball carrier when they are not in possession has been enormous throughout this winning period for them, something which Damien Hardwick developed into this group many years ago.
Geelong has been somewhat of a gatekeeper not only this season but for many.
The Cats are in a good position to again finish inside the top four and earn a second chance come September but these types of games are pivotal in that coming to fruition.
They were challenged in the west last weekend but ultimately put together their fourth win in a row to win by three goals.
Richmond has turned the football over more times than anyone in the competition this season and they face a side that ranks number one in that area.
Injuries to Robbie Tarrant and Noah Bolta will leave the Tigers defence inexperienced against the best two pronged key forward attacked in the competition.
