Can Richmond get on the scoreboard?
Can Geelong stop the bleeding?
These are the main two points of interest coming out of this weekend's clash between Richmond and Geelong.
The Tigers will be looking to avoid their worst start to a season since 1962 while the Cats will be looking to win back respect and possibly save their coach's hide.
The winless Richmond has not been blown off the park yet this season and has arguably played top 8 teams in 4 out of its 5 matches. They will be hungrier than ever to get a win on the board and they will no doubt see the inconsistent Cats as perfect prey.
On the other side sits the infuriating Geelong. After big wins against Carlton and Melbourne it looked as though the demons of 2006 had been exorcised. But coming up against determined sides has always spelt trouble for the Cats and Hawthorn and the Kangaroos were indeed the epitome of determination.
In ability terms, there's no doubt that Geelong should have Richmond's measure. But if there's anything Geelong fans have learned in the past two weeks its that ability alone doesn't win you matches.
If Geelong have been stung by the embarassment and criticism they've endured over the past week, they will account for Richmond come Sunday twilight. So long as they've learned to take nothing for granted, to always pay their opponents due respect and to play hard and accountable football, they will take four points back down the highway.
For the final time this season, they have my blind faith.
Geelong by 40 points.
