Richmond to remain winless for AFL season

On form, the $8 might be well worth an investment. However, remember Melbourne last year, and their late-season surge of form to win two games.

TOOTHLESS TIGERS BACKED TO REMAIN WINLESS IN 2010

Richmond’s terrible side to the season has led Sportingbet Australia to open a market on when the Tigers will win their first game in 2010, if in fact they do win one.

Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said the majority of early money had been for the Tiger’s to go through the season without recording a win.

“There have been no huge bets yet but punters are certainly keen to take the $8.00 about a winless season at Tigerland,” Sullivan said.

“They have really struggled to compete in any of their games and it is a little hard to see where a win is coming from.”

Sullivan said the favourite in the market was this weekend’s clash against fellow strugglers Melbourne at $3.10.

“Melbourne have been much improved over the past fortnight with the heartbreaker to Collingwood and the win over Adelaide, so Richmond will certainly need to lift if they are to break their duck,” he said.

“The danger for the Demons might be coming down from the high of that win and backing up for consecutive victories is not something they have a good record of in recent times.

“But punters have already backed the Dees in from $1.50 to $1.33 after Richmond suspended four players after their Sydney hotel shenanigans.”
