Undermanned Richmond hosts an on-and-off GWS outfit at the MCG on Sunday afternoon in a clash that will continue to shape the finals race.
The Tigers (2-14, 62.3%) have been gallant in defeat on numerous occasions this season, and they figure to challenge the visitors as they aim to get back off the bottom of the ladder.
Meantime, the Giants (9-7, 108.6%) made a much-needed return to form last Saturday after staging an incredible turnaround to beat Carlton, but they need to keep their foot on the pedal in order to cement a finals berth in 2024 — a win would push them back inside the top eight, pending other results.

Adem Yze’s Tigers made four changes to the side that fell to Fremantle in Round 17, with veteran midfielder Dion Prestia the notable inclusion. Youngsters Kane McAuliffe, Jacob Blight and Noah Cumberland were all axed.
Adam Kingsley’s Giants made just one tweak to the side that overwhelmed the Blues, recalling Lachie Ash for Leek Aleer (omitted).
In seven all-time matchups at the MCG — including the 2019 grand final — the Giants haven’t beaten the Tigers.
The match gets underway at 3:20pm from the MCG.
