THE PREDICTION
Richmond lost a must-win match away to GWS Giants last Friday to make it just two wins from nine and whilst qualification for the final eight remains mathematically possible this looks like their last match of the season. They host a Hawthorn side who were never really in contention themselves for the majority of the season but they have suddenly struck gold when it is too late with just one defeat from their last five. A draw with leaders Melbourne and wins over Brisbane and, last time out, Western Bulldogs, is vastly impressive even though those teams have already secured their place in the play-offs. The visitors here look set to leave victorious and end their season on a huge high. Take Hawthorn to cover -10.5 in victory.
