It is a battle between the two lowest-placed sides in the Australian Football League as the West Coast Eagles and Richmond face off on Saturday in Round 19 of the 2025 AFL season at Optus Stadium in Perth.
To say that the Eagles have struggled this season as they started their campaign with nine losses before taking their first win of 2025 against St Kilda. However, they have returned that win with seven more losses as they have continued to remain stuck at the bottom of the AFL ladder.
Similarly, Richmond have been horrendously bad this season as they sit all the way in 17th on the AFL ladder heading into Round 19, as they have suffered 13 losses through their opening 17 games. They grabbed their fourth win of the season last weekend, as they brought an end to their seven-game losing streak with a 46-37 win over Essendon.
