Richmond vs Melbourne Match Prediction
If you were hoping to settle in for a Friday night blockbuster after watching two (albeit overlapping) last week, think again.
Richmond and Melbourne will lock horns in their now-traditional Anzac Weekend timeslot, with the Dees currently a short-priced $1.13.
They were incredible against the back-to-back reigning premiers Brisbane last week when they withstood a late surge to hold onto a 104-102 win and put finals under Steven King firmly on the agenda.
The Tigers suffered a humiliating 75-point loss to the Kangaroos on Sunday, but worse still was the loss of Tim Taranto (concussion), Maurice Rioli (hamstring) and Sam Banks (collarbone).
Could be ugly.
