That reminds me, didn't Gawn select Fritsch to win the Coleman last year? Not sure if that 'cannot select own teammate' rule is that strict.

Viney confirmed out for RD 1 by Goody.

Fritsch and ANB go bang bang!

Looking forward to seeing Jordan have another crack. Really liked how he looked against the Tigers.

For the first time in 20 years....Farmer's on the board! (In Melbourne colours that is)

Forward entries are a mess. Bowey looks a class act. Speed and skills.

Is Vandenberg playing?

Siren sounds just as Rosman is about to run onto the ball on an open wing

Bailey Laurie with a classy finish Melbourne 12 Richmond 2

Petty as well

Siren sounds 11 point win to the Dees

Jones lifting

Fritsch has his third just as Richmond get within a goal. Very nice bit of roving by Chandler

Spargo and Chandler have both been very good today.

TMac high contact. No free kick.

Lever has been fantastic. Hopefully has a big year ahead of him.

Great transition play that leads to TMac kicking his first for the day and extend our lead to 10 points.

Chandler seems ok for someone who's just slammed through his third.

Much better quarter from the Demons, although the Tigers have cut the margin back to seven points. Goals to 3/4 time for those who aren't watching 2 to Chandler, Gawn and Fritsch Singles to Jones, Jordan, Oliver and Petracca

Ah jeez... Chandler's just come off holding his arm.

Oliver answers Richmond's goal with an absolute cracker on the run from the centre square.

Dees up by 14 now after that snap by Petracca

Liking the look of Chandler. Held his own in a two on one, won the free kick, and nailed the pass to Fritsch in the pocket.

Half time scores Demons 40* Tigers 41 *Edited. Maxy just nailed a lovely set shot
