Richmond Tigers vs Melbourne Demons Preview

Melbourne will look to continue its dominance over Richmond in the traditional ANZAC Eve fixture, having won six straight meetings between the clubs. The Demons remain unbeaten at the MCG this season and showed resilience in a narrow win over Brisbane. Richmond’s struggles have deepened, sitting winless through six rounds while managing multiple injury setbacks. Although Tom Lynch’s return offers some hope, Melbourne’s system and midfield strength appear too settled. The Tigers will need a lift in intensity to challenge.
