Richmond Tigers odds

After 37 years of pain, frustration and humiliation, the Richmond Football Club won the 2017 AFL Grand Final in incredible fashion, climbing from 13th on the ladder in 2016 to blitz the competition and taste the ultimate success.

That made the Tigers the team to beat in 2018, and back-to-back flags looked all but inevitable until they were stunned by a rampaging Collingwood side in the preliminary finals.

Now, armed with more firepower than ever after signing Tom Lynch from the Gold Coast Suns, Richmond are hell bent on returning to the top. Let’s take a look at their title odds for the 2019 AFL season and find some value for punters.

Where are the best Richmond bets in the AFL futures markets that matter?

• Richmond 2018 premiership betting
  Can the Tigers do it all over again in 2018? The bookmakers have them on the fourth line of betting at $7, behind Sydney, GWS and Adelaide, which seems to echo the sentiments of the football public – the Tigers had an incredible season, but they’re at the longest odds of the last two decades to go back-to-back.

  2017 was a perfect storm for Richmond. An incredible run with injuries, mixed together with a a helpful fixture saw Richmond place themselves in a strong position at the end of the home and away season. What followed next was incredible, as the Tigers’ tough contested style of football came to the fore.

  In many ways, the Tigers’ small forward line and high-pressure game caught its opponents off-guard in 2017. Of course they can do it again, but don’t expect an easy ride back to the top, now that they’re the hunted, instead of the hunter.

• Top 8 betting

  There may not be a lot of faith in back-to-back Richmond premierships, but there are not many bookmakers or punters who believe Richmond will slide all the way outside of the top eight. The $1.40 available at Sportsbet for Richmond to make finals seems a monty, considering the Tigers list has not lost any of its 2017 stars and has only added to its depth. This Richmond outfit is certainly good enough to win more than 12 games – lock them in.

• Brownlow Medal betting
  
  Who could possibly back against Dustin Martin after the season he had in 2017?

• Rising Star betting
  Like the Brownlow, Richmond have another favourite in this market
  After a whirlwind debut in Round 22 in 2017 and being part of a premiership team in just his fifth game of senior football, Jack Graham is the favourite to be the brightest young player in the game in 2018. Graham was a stand out in the 2017 Grand Final, kicking three goals. In a field that seems more open than recent seasons, Graham’s experience in finals football last year and his mooted potential move him forward see him as the $6 favourite at Sportsbet.com.au.
• Coleman Medal betting
  
  There was a time when Jack Riewoldt would be in the top three of Coleman Medal betting each year. But, after Richmond won the premiership with a smaller forward line structure with less reliance on Riewoldt, the belief in Jack’s ability to kick big bags in 2018 has diminished. If you think Riewoldt will get more opportunities at goal (and he might, as he is still the line Richmond key forward) the $31 at Sportsbet for him to win the Coleman is solid value.
