Melbourne vs Richmond Preview
Coming off a 21 point win to kick off their season, Melbourne will go into this clash with the Tigers who are still yet to win an AFLW game the clear $1.14 head to head favourite at time of publish.
The Demons were able to turn the game around early in the second quarter after trailing by a point.
Three goals in the second quarter, five unanswered and a masterclass from All Australian frequent flyer Karen Paxman saw Melbourne do it easily.
While they go into the game at Winx-like odds, they shouldn’t underestimate the Tigers.
Richmond’s AFLW team is still very much a work in progress.
Tigers fans will take comfort that the signs of improvement are there but were simply outclassed by the Brisbane Lions who ran away with a 29 point win.
Skipper Katie Brennan will rue the 0-3 she kicked for the day.
The line has been set at -24.5 in favour of Richmond.
I just can’t see the Tigers covering it, but they might get within striking distance.
Best to take the Dees to beat the line in this one.
