Roos vs Tigers Prediction: Richmond’s Winless Run Ends Here… Right? | AFL Round 6
Five losses. Zero wins. Richmond’s season is a slow-motion car wreck and the Tigers are running out of games to pretend it’s just a rough patch. North put 135 on them in Round 23 last year and have won the last three meetings.
The case for the line is simple: North are making their inside 50s count at a clip that’s eight percentage points better than Richmond. That’s not a minor edge – it’s the difference between a team that scores and a team that wastes entries. The Roos are also cleaner with ball in hand across the ground, which compounds under Marvel’s roof where turnovers get punished fast.
The risk? Richmond actually pushed Carlton to four points in Round 1. They’re not lying down. If they bring that intensity for four quarters instead of two, they can keep this honest.
But a team that’s averaging 8.2 goals a game isn’t covering a 24.5-point line against a side sitting 7th and playing at home. Our model has this at 26. The line’s tight, but it’s on the right side. Back the Roos.
Roos vs Tigers Tip
North Melbourne by 26 – they’re converting at a rate Richmond simply can’t match, and the Tigers haven’t found a win all season.

North’s 35-possession edge in space means they’re moving the ball freely – Richmond can’t generate enough pressure to disrupt them.
