After a narrow loss to Fremantle and a big loss to Geelong in rounds six and seven, Richmond got back on track last week with an impressive victory over Port in Adelaide (114-73).
That win kept the Tigers inside the eight with a 4-3 winning record this year.
That record should be – will be – improved this week as they take on the hapless Melbourne Demons.
Things hit a new low for the Dees last week when, against the Gold Coast Suns, they were handed a 10 goal defeat. There’s nothing to say about the Dees. After a win against the equally poor GWS in round 4, their three subsequent losses have progressively gotten worse.
Tigers to give the 70.5 points start a nudge.
