Richmond Tigers vs Melbourne Demons Preview
Win-Loss-Win-Loss-Win-Loss
This seems to be the trend for the Richmond Football Club in recent times.
There are glimpses that the Tiges are still capable of playing some devastating football but the reality is that it is becoming increasingly inconsistent.
Damian Hardwick will be concerned with a few key stats; Richmond rank last in Stoppage Clearances and first in Clangers.
The live by the sword, die by the sword gameplan of moving the football fast and cutting opposing teams up through the middle of the game works when your disposals efficiency is at a high level.
If you turn the football over constantly, it will hurt you the other way. Especially against a side like Melbourne.
The Dees are now riding a 12 game winning streak and I say it every week, if you back Melbourne to cover all year, you’ll end up in front.
Nine of Melbourne’s last 10 matches have gone OVER the total match points line.
