The AFL site is tipping Melbourne to win by 13 points...
SUMMARYThe final game of the round also looms as an intriguing contest.
Although neither Melbourne nor Richmond will feature in finals action, both will be keen to finish off the year on a high and carry that confidence into their preparations for season 2012.
Melbourne's horror month has been well documented but despite losing to West Coast on Sunday, the Demons showed great endeavour and were only let down by their poor skill execution.
The Tigers will head into Sunday's twilight clash full of confidence after they broke a six-game losing streak with a 43-point win over the Sydney Swans.
Trent Cotchin, Bachar Houli and Brett Deledio were all in fine form and will need to fire again this week.
The midfield battle between these two young sides will be an intriguing contest but if Melbourne are to win, they will need a lift from some of their more senior players in Brent Moloney, Brad Green and Colin Sylvia.
QUESTION MARKSCan Todd Viney notch up his first win as caretaker coach? Melbourne defender James Frawley says Viney has had a positive influence on the players and they are keen to repay him with wins in the final three rounds.
Can Jack Reiwoldt keep his Coleman medal hopes alive? The Richmond forward has 56 goals to his name this season and currently sits second behind Hawthorn star Lance Franklin (62) on the leaderboard. Franklin kicked eight goals last week putting some distance between the two, and Riewoldt will need to reply this week if he wants to walk away with back-to-back Coleman medals.
