AFL round 18 2026, scores, results, odds, stats and start time from Marvel Stadium

I’m sorry, I’ve jinxed the weather gods because the sky is dark and it’s raining.

It’s the end of the quarter at the MCG and Melbourne are 12 points ahead.

After the Tigers’ hot start, Melbourne seized the momentum by displaying a more fluid style of football and scoring three unanswered goals.

Melbourne dominated the zone in the quarter, leading 17 to 9 after the 50th minute and clocking up 67 percent of the time in the forward half.

The impressive Jacob van Rooyen and Jake Melksham had two goals for Melbourne.

Goal: Melbourne ahead 5.2 (32) to Richmond 3.2 (20)
