AFL Grand Final 2017

Many variables to consider

In a few short hours, Richmond will square off against Adelaide for the 2017 AFL title. For the Tigers it has been a long time between drinks but they have what is essentially a home field advantage.

Ok, let's pick the game!


2017 AFL Grand Final

Adelaide Crows vs Richmond Tigers

Long suffering Tiger fans are coming out of the woodwork and uniting today as their Tigers return to the ultimate match for the first time in over thirty years. In Round 6, the Crows slaughtered the Tigers in Adelaide, that will not be the case in this one as it is basically a home match for Richmond.

On the field, Richmond will be hoping to get full effort from their unconventional forward pack and look for the defence from the back line to pull them through. Adelaide meanwhile will be looking to stick to the formula that has gotten them through the season.

For the game, I'm tipping Richmond, for that tip to come to fruition, the Tigers will need to grab a lead in the early stages, hang on and keep the score low. Even with all of that, it could go down to the final seconds.

Prediction: Richmond by 8

Enjoy the match! NRL pick up overnight!
