The prediction
The Western Bulldogs (9th) produced a scintillating performance in Round 14, dismantling St Kilda 132-60. The win puts them on the cusp of the top eight and showcased their offensive firepower.
Defender Bailey Dale was outstanding in the win over St Kilda, providing elite drive from the back half and finishing with a game-high 36 disposals and 10 score involvements.
Richmond (17th) had the bye in Round 14. In their previous match, they were well beaten by the Sydney Swans, going down 80-36. It has been a tough season for the Tigers, who have lost four of their last five.
Star midfielder Tim Taranto fought hard against the tide, finishing with 25 disposals and a goal.
The Western Bulldogs have dominated Richmond in recent times, winning the last three clashes comfortably. Their most recent encounter in Round 9, 2024, was a 91-point thrashing in favour of the Bulldogs.
All signs point to a comfortable Bulldogs victory. Their high-powered offence should prove far too much for Richmond to handle.
