Richmond’s VFL team will meet the GWS Giants in a blockbuster Wildcard Finals fixture on Saturday, August 23, at 12:10pm at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne.

It is the Tigers’ third straight appearance in the Wildcard weekend, and after losses to Williamstown and Collingwood, respectively, in their past two Wildcard games, Jake Batchelor’s side will be looking for a change in fortunes on Saturday.

Richmond has met GWS this season, defeating them by 12-points in Round 10 on May 31. Joel Garner (30 disposals) and Harry Scott (25 disposals) both shined on that day and will be looking to put in big performances yet again this weekend.
