Matthew Richardson previews Friday night's Round 17 clash against Geelong at Metricon Stadium.

1. Simple equation

Heading into the final two rounds of the regular season, the equation is simple for the Tigers - win every game and finish top four. Coming up against the form side of the competition in Geelong, this will be a ripping game of Friday Night Footy.

2. Box Office showdown

Tom Hawkins is the best forward in the game at the moment and will be a huge challenge for young Richmond defender, Noah Balta. Hawkins is averaging 3.5 marks inside 50, 2 marks on the lead, and has kicked 39 goals in season 2020.

3. Career-best form

Jack Graham has played a crucial role in Richmond's last four games with his ferocious tackling, deft ball use inside 50 and his ability to win the ball at the coalface. As an inside mid, Graham is averaging 22 pressure acts, 1.4 score launches, and is maintaining 80% disposal efficiency; these are elite numbers.
