It’s a high stakes showdown between two recent powerhouses to open Round 17, with Richmond and Sydney squaring off in a virtual elimination final at the MCG.
The Tigers (6-8-1, 95.6%) were crushed by Brisbane last time out, ending a three-game winning streak that had their season somewhat back on track.
The Swans (6-8-1, 112.7%) are still trying to recover from a series of unfortunate close results, the latest being last week’s draw against Geelong where they were horrifically inaccurate.

With just seven rounds left in the season after this weekend, tonight’s loser will basically need to win out to play finals – making the equation almost impossible.
The match gets underway at 7:20pm EST from the MCG.
Watch it live on Fox Footy (channel 504), and streaming on Kayo, from 6:30pm EST.
