West Coast vs Richmond Prediction & Betting Tips: AFL 2025 Round 19
Wins Eluding the Eagles
The West Coast Eagles will be desperate to give their long-suffering fans something to cheer about when they host Richmond in the final game of Super Saturday. It has been another gruelling season for the Eagles, who sit anchored to the bottom of the ladder with just a single victory to their name, which came against St Kilda way back in Round 10. Despite their struggles, Andrew McQualter's men have shown glimpses of fight in recent weeks. Last round against Port Adelaide, they were competitive for three quarters and held a lead for the majority of the contest before being overrun in the final term to eventually lose by 26 points. While they are all but certain to claim another wooden spoon, a win on their home deck would be a massive boost for the developing group.
Tigers Avoid the Spoon
Richmond travels to Perth with four wins for the season, a tally that has likely surpassed the expectations of many given their extensive injury list and rebuild status. The Tigers sit 17th on the ladder, just one spot above their weekend opponents. They managed to snap a seven-game losing streak last week with a victory over Essendon, though the match itself was far from a spectacle. In what was widely panned as one of the worst games of the modern era, Richmond prevailed 46-37 in a contest riddled with skill errors and bizarre passages of play. A win is a win, however, and Adem Yze’s side will take any momentum they can get as they look to finish the season on a positive note.
Recent History
Recent clashes between these two rebuilding clubs have been split. When they met earlier this season in Melbourne, the Tigers scraped home in a thriller, winning 81-79. However, in their meeting at Optus Stadium last year, it was the Eagles who triumphed convincingly, running out 109-70 winners. With both teams in the midst of a significant list overhaul, there has been a high degree of player turnover in recent years, meaning historical form counts for little.
Eagles or Tigers? Here's our West Coast vs Richmond Tip
In a battle between the bottom two sides, this game will likely come down to which team wants it more. For that reason, the Eagles present a compelling case. Having tasted victory just once all year, the desire to reward their loyal home supporters will be immense. They showed against Port Adelaide that their best football can challenge teams, and they will view this as their most winnable game for the remainder of the season. Expect West Coast to play with a greater sense of desperation and intensity. They should be able to feed off the energy of the home crowd and secure a rare and cherished victory, covering the -4.5 point spread in the process.

West Coast vs Richmond Prop Bet
Our Best Player Prop Bet: Shanahan 2+ Goals
Looks a really nice player does Jobe Shanahan. Clean hands and a beautiful set shot. He’s kicked 1, 2, and 1 goals from his three career games to date, but those were against better opposition than the Tigers. I have the Eagles winning this game so that means they’ll have to kick a big score. Eagles forwards will get plenty of opportunities in this contest and I like the young fella to get on the end of a couple at a nice price.

Jobe Shanahan Score Anytime: For the reasons mentioned above.
Tyler Brockman Score Anytime: He’s been hitting the scoreboard regularly of late, kicking at least one goal in four of his last five games. He should get at least a couple of looks against the Tigers.
Ryan Maric 15+ Disposals: He’s had 15+ disposals in 16 straight matches. Enough said
Luke Trainor 15+ Disposals: Remains nice value for 15 disposals despite reaching that number in four of his last five outings.
