preview
West Coast plays host to Richmond at Optus Stadium on Friday night to open Round 7 of the AFL premiership season.
The Eagles will field another depleted squad, but the Tigers are equally on the ropes with a handful of stars set to miss.
Trent Cotchin and Robbie Tarrant will not make the trip to Perth and Dustin Martin will also not front up.
Richmond has had the better of it in 2022 when compared to West Coast which is languishing in 17th place on the ladder.
Elliot Yeo will be sidelined for 12 days under concussion protocols, but the Eagles are going to call upon the services of midfield gun Andrew Gaff who has returned to fitness from an ankle niggle.
It is intriguing game for both teams, with the Tigers expected to win after running Melbourne to within 22 points last Sunday.
West Coast, meanwhile, was flogged by Port Adelaide as its season went for bad to worse.
A return home in front of a home crowd and against a weakened Richmond team should spark a lift out of Adam Simpson’s men.
However, it is just so hard to tip a team so out of form and missing heaps of pivotal players.
Suggested Bets: Richmond -8.5 at $1.90
west coast vs. richmond
total points under 162.5
Both teams are lacking a lot of scoring power at the moment.
West Coast are struggling to hit the scoreboard and the Tigers have only managed to crack 100 points once this season.
It is very hard to see this game going over 162.5 points, especially given the Tigers have only notched up scored of 54 and 82 in the last fortnight, while the Eagles have managed scores of 33 and 58.
Back the unders.
Suggested Bets: Total points scored under 162.5 at $1.87

same game multi
Richmond at the line and the total points under 162.5 will be thrown in as the first two legs.
Jayden Short to get 30 or more disposals locks a great leg to get involved with after his 30-disposal performance against Melbourne last weekend.
With Robbie Tarrant coming out of the team, there is likelihood Josh Kennedy will be the target who can fire up front for the Eagles.
Suggested Same Game Multi:
Leg 1: Richmond -8.5
Leg 2: Total points unders 162.5
Leg 3: J. Short 30+ disposals
Leg 4: J. Kennedy 2+ goals
Combined odds = $12
