The Richmond Tigers are set to play host to Collingwood, the AFL ladder leaders, on Saturday in Round 20 of the 2025 Australian Football League season at the Optus Stadium in Perth.
Richmond have been horrendously bad this season as they sit all the way in 16th on the AFL ladder heading into Round 20, as they have suffered 13 losses through their opening 18 games.
They brought an end to their seven-game losing streak with a 46-37 win over Essendon in Round 18 before following it up with a 105-56 win over the West Coast Eagles.
The 2025 AFL ladder leaders, Collingwood, have been in fine form this season as they have taken 14 wins and suffered just four losses in 18 games so far in the home-and-away season.
In the exact opposite fashion compared to Richmond, the high-flying Magpies are on a two-game losing streak as they followed up their tight 69-63 loss to the Suns in Round 18 with a one-point loss to Fremantle last weekend. Their lead over the Lions has now been chopped down to just two-points.
