Preview
Team News: Josh Kelly will make his long awaited return for the Giants but Callan Ward (knee) and Toby Greene (calf soreness) are likely to miss at least another week.
Sam Taylor will likely miss after he suffered hamstring tightness in the loss to the Eagles. Shane Mumford is a chance to replace Dawson Simpson after a club-imposed suspension.
For Richmond, Jack Riewoldt will miss a month following a wrist injury in Thursday night’s loss. Josh Caddy has recovered from an ankle injury and may return, while Noah Balta may also be called upon after he was omitted following the first round.
Oleg Markov struggled in his first senior game of the year and may be replaced by Ryan Garthwaite if the Tigers want another key defender.
Prediction: GWS have won their last three games against Richmond in Sydney. This trend is likely to continue against a Tigers line up missing several key players. GWS by 30.
