THE PREDICTION
Melbourne were able to maintain their 100% start to the new AFL season with a big win over Hawthorn last week. They are one of just two teams that sit at 5-0 and that is now seven successive wins stretching back to last year. They will be full of confidence as they host reigning premiers Richmond in what will be a real test of the hosts’ credentials. The Tigers have made an inconsistent start to their title defence but they did improve to 3-2 with crushing win over St. Kilda last week and they will hope to build on that showing. This one could go either way but with the Demons proving difficult to beat so far, it is the hosts that can make a big statement by recording another success to remain unbeaten.
