The Giants really struggled last week against the reigning premiers and the Tigers got smashed by a way better team on the night. Both teams sit 1 and 1 so far and will be looking for a statement win. Richmond looked poor last week and are hoping to prove everyone that they can win with all of their big outs. GWS will be hoping to get another convincing win at home.

The Giants have Josh Kelly, Shane Mumford and Tommy Sheridan coming in for Lachlan Keefe, Brett Deledio and Dawson Simpson. Josh Kelly is one of the top players in the AFL and he’s certainly a big worry for the Tigers. Mumford has had a tumultuous off-season and he’s hoping to put that behind him with his first game back from retirement. The ex Fremantle player Sheridan comes in for his first game at GWS.

The Tigers had a bad week for injuries last week with key forward and best player last season Jack Riewoldt fractured his wrist. Maverick Weller is out injured and Grimes is serving his suspension for a high hit on Jamie Elliott last week. Richmond have the defender Ryan Garthwaite, big forward Noah Balta and debutant Sydney Stack coming in.

This is a difficult one for me to pick my hearts telling me Tigers but GWS are in Sydney is a dangerous game. Add all the outs Richmond have and the ins GWS have it could be a close one. Dusty is starting in the middle though so GWS by 2

Dusty to have 34 Cameron to kick 3

The Odds

GWS $1.50 Richmond $2.50

Fresh’s Picks

Dustin Martin 30 or more @ $2.88

Either team by 15 or less @ $2.63
