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.

Best Richmond bets for the 2019 AFL season
Where are the best Richmond bets in the AFL futures markets that matter?
Click on the tabs below to get more analysis on these markets:
- The Tigers were the team to beat all the way through to last year’s prelims, when they were jumped by Collingwood. But there is no doubting the quality of Damien Hardwick’s squad, which has only improved with the acquisition of key forward Tom Lynch. The yellow and black will be there or thereabouts again in 2019.
- After claiming the minor premiership last year, Richmond are now aiming at a hat-trick of top-four finishes. Their main rivals are the grand finalists, West Coast and Collingwood, while the likes of Essendon and Melbourne are well backed to replace Hawthorn in the upper half of the eight. Whichever way you swing it, the Tigers look a good bet to finish near the top again.
- Keen observers of the game will tell you Dustin Martin was rarely at his influential best in 2018, yet the Richmond superstar polled 19 votes to finish tied for sixth in the Brownlow Medal count. If ‘Dusty’ gets back to the levels he delivered in 2017, there are maybe only two players – Patrick Dangerfield and Nat Fyfe – who can match him.
- Jack Riewoldt delivered big value for those who backed him in the Coleman Medal betting at the start of last season, but now there is a new sheriff in town. Tom Lynch consistently booted over 40 goals a year in a rapidly declining Gold Coast Suns side and looks the better bet with Riewoldt expected to play a more team-oriented role across half-forward.
