Richmond takes on Geelong in the Indigenous Round on Saturday at the Swinburne Centre in the Tigers' final home game of the 2022 season. 

Richmond has kicked its two highest scores in club history in its two wins so far this season and has started to find solutions to the absence of key players at either end of the ground.

What has been impressive from the Tigers this year is their efficiency once getting the ball inside 50, so it is imperative that Geelong is very accountable higher up the field and limits the entries the Tigers are able to register.

The Cats are also conceding the most clearances each game of any side with 25.9 each game, so the work of Monique Conti and Ellie McKenzie around the ball looms as a concern, so restricting the efficiency of those clearances is important. 

While Geelong has shown some real signs of growth this year, there have still been moments where that panicked, uncreative side of 2021 has returned.

Long kicks down the line and an unwillingness to use the width of the ground is a sign of Geelong feeling the pressure.

Tapping into the run and confidence of Nina Morrison and Sophie Van De Heuval and looking laterally to move the Tigers’ defensive unit is key for Geelong this weekend. 

The Tigers have shown a willingness to take the game on and play with confidence, and that will serve them well.

Saturday's clash kicks off at 5.10pm AEST and will be broadcast live on 7mate, Fox Footy and Kayo Sports. 

Richmond's Korin Gamadji Institute (KGI) alumni, Chantelle Mitchell, a budding young Indigenous artist who has dreams to play in the AFLW, designed the Tigers' 2022 Indigenous and season-wide clash jumper in consultation with star midfielder Monique Conti and defender Sarah D'Arcy.
