The prediction

The West Coast Eagles (18th) put up a strong challenge for three quarters before being overpowered by a fast-finishing Port Adelaide, losing by 26 points (87-61).

Richmond (17th) finally snapped a seven-game losing streak with a determined and gritty 46-37 win over Essendon in a low-scoring affair that certainly won’t feature in any match of the year footage.

Harley Reid, the phenomenal second-year player continued his stellar season for the Eagles, leading his team with 26 disposals and a game-high 10 inside 50’s.

Tim Taranto was immense for the Tigers in the drought-breaking win over the Bombers, shouldering a huge midfield load to gather a game-high 34 disposals and kick a crucial goal.

Richmond won a nail-biter 81-79 when these sides met in Round 9 this season. West Coast leads the overall head-to-head record 25-16.

The Tigers will be filled with belief after finally getting a win on the board, and their senior players stood up when it mattered. West Coast is a more competitive outfit at home, but Richmond’s experienced core might just be enough to get them over the line for a second straight victory.
