My Prediction
Western Bulldogs by 51What we're looking at here, ladies and gents, is a showdown between the gritty Western Bulldogs and the embattled Richmond Tigers.
Based on the cosmic wisdom of numbers and past events, it’s not looking quite so rosy for the Richmond Tigers. With a track record that's left them covered in more dust than a marsupial in a desert, they've got a win-loss ratio that's black and blue - 3 wins and 10 losses. Their recent performances haven't fared much better, with defeats more common than a kangaroo hop.
On the contrary, the Western Bulldogs have been chomping at the AFL season with a canine's fervor, landing themselves in the 9th spot, as opposed to Richmond's 17th. Sporting a regular-season record that’s palatable at 7-6, the Bulldogs have shown a knack for bouncing back even amidst some recent stumbles. These Dogs know how to hunt, with their previous match-ups against Richmond playing out like a David Attenborough documentary - the Bulldogs, on the prowl, always in control.
May the footy gods help us if we're looking for a cinematic underdog story come Round 15, because methinks this match-up will be more of a rerun - the Bulldogs snapping at the heels of the Tigers right from the whistle.
