My Prediction
Melbourne Demons by 22Let's dive headfirst into this quintessentially Aussie affair between the Melbourne Demons and the Richmond Tigers. The Demons, who've been demonstrating a hell of a lot of devilry lately, just came off a morale-boosting victory over Fremantle. That kind of win can stoke a fire under a team, no matter their league ranking. Now, facing off against the Demons are the Tigers, who've had their spirits crushed more often than beer cans at a footy final.
Delving into the history books, the Demons have quite an affinity for torching the Tigers, so much so that PETA might want to look into it. Not to mention when they last squared off, the Demons put on quite the possession clinic, working the ball around the ground like it was some sort of puppet show.
But let's not count the Tigers out just yet; they are called Tigers, after all. They've been in the wrestling ring with adversity before and know a thing or two about clawing their way out. Trending onto the field with a win over Gold Coast under their belt — something that's recently eluded the Demons — who knows, we might just witness a miracle on the round.
But, let's face some cold hard facts here. Given the Demons' head-to-head advantage and their recent uptick in form, it would seem the bookmakers are putting their green and gold on the boys in red and blue. So, unless the Tigers have been secretly training with Mike Tyson or the Demons wake up on the wrong side of their inferno, Melbourne seems poised to etch another W in their column.
