Richmond v Sydney
Saturday 1:45pm at MCG



The Tigers are surprisingly entrenched in the Top 4 and even more remarkably, the Swans are anchored in the bottom-third of the ladder and are desperate to make a run.
Form

The Tigers have conceded more than 90 just once this year, while they have conceded sub-70 four times including their last two. The Tigers rank second in defence and 11thin attack.
Sydney have not really been able to get going this season but their gritty win over premiers the Western Bulldogs. The Swans are up to 14th on the ladder with a 4-7 record. The Swans have won four of their last five and really should be riding a five-game winning streak. The Swans have not conceded more than 81 over that five-game win streak.
