Richmond vs North: Who will win and why?

[MF]

Toughest tip of the round for me.

North Melbourne are favorites with the bookies but the loss of Ziebell will hurt and Richmond are in better form.

I've changed my tip 3 times already.

Who will win and why?

Dumb question. We all know it is Richmond's destiny to come 9th .

Losing Ziebell, Greenwood and Wells means we are without three of our best midfielders. Hansen missing too hurts for structural reasons.

It will be Pratt and Brady Rawlings' last games so the boys and Scott would want to send them out on a high there.

Also, with HMac in, I can see our forward line being a bit too tall for their backline.

I'll say North (obviously) but I'm not as confident as I could be.

Question answered, thread closed

Richmond because every time I tip them to win, they win (except against Essendon). Tipped them against Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. They are sort of like Essendon when i can tell that they are goign to win. I get this vibe and because North are too predictable. This is a typical game they would lose and a typical game Richmond would win.

 

[THE MOEMAN]

i think richmond should win because we're missing a big part of our midfield, no wells,ziebell and greenwood. We're also missing hansen who plays an important role at either end of the ground.

if we have our best 22 playing then i think we would win easily but we don't this week so i'll tip richmond

 

[Groupie_]

Richmond by 5 points and Melbourne to beat Port by 50

10th place for us

Wont happen though. 9th it is

 

[PTizzle]

I think Richmond will have the edge from their recent form but it really is a hard tip. Not confident at all.

Thats exactly what I came in here to say

 

[Ice-Wolf]

Richmond don't win the big games, the pressure of finishing 9th will be too much for them, so I'm going to have to go with North.

Seriously though I think Richmond will win, they're in better form, although it wouldn't be unheard of for a team to bounce back from a heavy loss.

Nice excuses but Richmond are missing a large chunk of there backline as well.

Backline:

Newman(Captain)
Grimes
Astbury
Batchelor

Midfield:

Conca

And arguably Helbig, out for the season.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Richmond, because ninth is up for grabs

lol the only good player your missing is newman, the rest of them don't even come close to wells, ziebell and greenwood

 

[Slattery_20]

North should win, it is at Etihad. (and yes, I know they lost this one earlier).
Not convinced though.

Yeah, nobody of the class of Ziebell or Wells there. Basically, we're missing three of our five key mids (Bastinac and Spitta remaining)

Making your excuses early arent you?

Win or lose as long as we dont fold like the Roos did last week I will be happy.

WTF is a Greenwood and why is it rated so highly?

What hilarity? It's true hahaha....

It's funny cos the leapfrogging will happen on Sunday

 

[stainedclass]

Don't think any of the teams care about the result, will just want to get through the game unscathed. Only thing we are really playing for is Brady's farewell.
