Giants will test Tigers

AFL pressure masters Richmond should expect to have plenty of heat coming in their direction in Saturday’s preliminary final, according to Greater Western Sydney wingman Tom Scully.

The Tigers’ relentless fullground pressure has been a key factor in their surge into the last four. GWS experienced it first hand at a wet MCG back in July, when they were monstered at the contest in the middle quarters and held to 45 points, their lowest score of the campaign.

“Of course we’ve spoken about it, there’s no doubt they probably have set the benchmark for pressure all over the field,” Scully said.

“We know that’s coming, but we’re really confident as well that we can apply some really good pressure to them. Obviously part of that is absorbing pressure.”
