Fremantle senior coach Ross Lyon expects a hard running Richmond at Domain Stadium on Friday night.
Both teams come into the match in good form, with Fremantle undefeated with nine wins and Richmond winning its past three games.
Lyon said he thought the Tigers had rejigged a number of issues from the first few rounds and expected a tough challenge.
“They run hard,” he said.
“They get really good run from behind and the forwards lead up really well.”
Richmond’s star midfielder Brett Deledio has been a key part of the side’s recent success.
