The prediction

The Richmond Tigers face another challenge this week in Gather Round when they take on the Fremantle Dockers. The Tigers were gallant in defeat away to Brisbane with some late goals adding respectability to the scoreline. In previous weeks, they have been beaten comprehensively each time. The Dockers got the job done against the Western Bulldogs, despite trailing for the majority of the first half.

The Dockers have won three of their previous five matches against the Tigers, as well as a draw. Their last two victories have been 50+ margins both home and away.

Look for ball magnet Caleb Serong to lead all players with disposals as his quest for a Brownlow Medal continues. For the Tigers they have averaged just on ten goals per match as a team and the traditionally stingy Dockers defence won’t make it easy to improve that this week.

We like the Dockers to get the win in this match by a comfortable margin against the Tigers.
