The Western Bulldogs are set to pile on the goals against Richmond in Round 15. 

Luke Beveridge’s side have bullied sides below them on the ladder in recent times and come off a 72-point victory over St Kilda in Round 14. 

The Bulldogs sit in 8th position on the ladder with a 7-6 win-loss record, while Richmond are languishing in 17th at 3-10. 

The Tigers had the bye in Round 14. Prior to that they managed a paltry scoreline of 4.12 in a 44-point loss to Sydney, who have hardly been flying of late. 

Expect the Bulldogs to get on top in centre clearances and disposals, providing the likes of Sam Darcy plenty of opportunities up forward. Take them to cover the line. 

  • The Western Bulldogs have won their past four against sides in the bottom half of the ladder by an average margin of 81 points.  
  • The Bulldogs are 2nd for scoring in the past five rounds, Richmond are 17th. 
  • Bailey Dale is averaging 34 disposals in the past five rounds. 
  • The Bulldogs won by 91 points the last time these two sides met

Since knocking over West Coast by two points back in Round 9, Richmond have lost four in a row. Three of those five matches have been decided by less than a goal, including a Round 12 defeat to GWS when they seemingly had that match in the bag. 

The Tigers rank 17th for disposals and scoring over the past five rounds, averaging just 65 points per game. They booted just four goals against Sydney and only one after quarter time. Seth Campbell has kicked seven in the past five rounds. 

Tim Taranto picked up 25 disposals against Sydney, while Jacob Hopper had 22. That pair are averaging 26 disposals apiece in 2025. Despite the presence of this pair, Richmond are 17th for clearances and 18th for centre clearances over the past five rounds.

Richmond looked a tad fatigued against Sydney and with a number of young bodies, would have welcomed the recent bye. Jayden Short is a chance to return, bringing some much needed experience.
