July 29, 2015 by Marc Jerbs

On Friday, the Hawthorn Hawks will face the Richmond Tigers in Round 18 of the AFL. Game time is set at 7:50PM AEST and will be played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Hawthorn currently sits at No. 3 in the AFL ladder with a 12-4 record. The Hawks displayed their ruthless precision by dealing a 138-point loss to the Blues last Friday night. They will now gun for a nine straight win and are eyeing a top-two finish to keep their hopes alive for an AFL title three-peat.

The Richmond Tigers' top-four goal was stalled as they absorbed a shattering loss to Fremantle in Round 17. They will now face a formidable task to upset the streaking Hawthorn to solidify their chances for a top four finish in the AFL table.

The sportsbook handicappers have installed the Hawthorn Hawks as a 34.5-point favorite to beat the Richmond Tigers on Friday night.
