THE PREDICTION

In a repeat of last year’s Grand Final, Richmond and Geelong Cats both come into this clash with a 4-3 record but it is the home side that will be in a better place thanks to ending Western Bulldogs’ unbeaten start to the season last week. That was an important win for the reigning premiers having lost three of their last four prior to that and they will hope to build on it here. The Cats were unable to make it three straight wins last time out as they were edged by Sydney Swans and having lost all three games on the road so far this season, this is an uphill task for them with the hosts likely to come out on top.
