Melbourne Demons vs Richmond Tigers Preview

Melbourne (1-5) finally sparked their season to life with a high-scoring victory over Fremantle and now turn their attention to Richmond (2-4) in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash at the MCG. The win was driven by a commanding midfield display from Max Gawn, while Richmond has been something of a wildcard this year, having upset two finals contenders already. That said, the odds aren’t in the Tigers’ favor—historically, they’ve struggled as underdogs, losing 9 of their last 11 games when getting 25+ points. With a favorable fixture ahead, including a match-up against West Coast, this game is pivotal for Melbourne to prove whether they’re truly back in form—or if last week was just a flash in the pan. Expect the Dees to take care of business.
