Melbourne v Tigers Preview

Melbourne are favoured to take out the ANZAC Day Eve clash and come in with the superior win-loss record, having claimed four of their six matches so far, while Richmond have tasted success just once in their six games in 2024.

Both sides had the bye in Round 6. That followed losses for the respective clubs the week prior. Richmond were shell-shocked by a Harley Reid inspired West Coast outfit in Perth, going down to the Eagles by 39 points.

Liam Baker and Shai Bolton were solid for the yellow and black, who have battled in the absence of a number of key players this season. Dylan Grimes and Jacob Hopper are among a couple that may return for this match but the Tigers will be without Tim Taranto.

Melbourne were outclassed by Brisbane in their most recent encounter, going down to the Lions by 22 points. They lose Christian Salem to a hamstring injury, while Clayton Oliver has had finger surgery since that game but is expected to play..

Hard to see the Demons going down in this one but they will need strong performances from the likes of Max Gawn, Christian Petracca and Jack Viney.
