Richmond v Melbourne Preview, MCG

The last of the Opening Round teams to have their early-season byes, Richmond and Melbourne should be fresh after a much-needed rest. The Tigers became the first club to lose to West Coast this season, while the Demons were taken down by the Brisbane Lions before their byes. Injury-decimated Richmond will welcome back midfielder Jacob Hopper (knee) and Dylan Grimes (wrist). Kept quiet against the Lions, Demons midfielder Clayton Oliver underwent minor surgery to fix up a troublesome finger and should reap the benefits. Richmond are still competitive under Adem Yze, but Melbourne will have too much class.

TIP: Melbourne by 26, Christian Petracca to be best-on-ground
