GWS are backed to claim their first-ever win against Richmond at the MCG, in what is also their first visit to the venue in 2024. They can cover the 27.5 points line as favourites.

Richmond have lost by an average margin of 53 points in their past 3 matches.
GWS have won all three of their Sunday games in 2024, kicking 100+ points in both of their away fixtures.
Richmond have conceded an average of 102 points per game in 2024.
GWS have scored 100+ points in 6 games this season.

Head to Head

Richmond have a strong record against the GWS, winning their past two contests and five of the past eight since the 2019 season.

The Tigers have also never lost to the Giants at the MCG in seven matches since the inception of GWS in the league in 2012.

Richmond Tigers Form

It is not looking great for the Tigers as they move to the bottom of the AFL ladder and are a long way from removing themselves from the bottom.

A 51-point loss to Fremantle which followed a 61-point defeat to Carlton and a 48-point drubbing against Hawthorn has things looking gloomy at Punt Road.

Richmond need to rebuild, or maybe that isn't the right word. There are good pieces already in place, but things do need to change and the club needs to take on a new shape after the departure of their veterans last season and maybe a couple more moving on at the end of the season.

GWS Giants Form

For me, GWS came from nowhere and took down one of the premiership favourites Carlton 116-104, beating the Blues at their own game and winning a good ol’ western shootout that even John Wayne would have been proud of.

The Giants kicked an average of 107.2 points in their opening 7 games where they went 6-1 and were second on the ladder.

They then dipped deeper than the USS Thresher (SS-200) scoring just 69.6 points per game in their next 8 matches and had a 2-6 record.

The Giants certainly found their range again kicking 18.8 against the Blues and could be back on course to rise back to the top again.

GWS Giants Team News

Lachie Ash's calf has past the test and will make his return in the VFL.

Josh Kelly will miss the next month with a calf injury of his own.
