RICHMOND dual All Australian Alex Rance's hit on Melbourne forward Jack Watts was an action he will regret, Demons midfielder Dom Tyson says.

Rance struck Watts with a forearm to the back of the head with a little over four minutes left in the game last Sunday night as the Tigers trailed by 28 points.

Demon Jack Viney then remonstrated with Rance, knocking him to the ground.

"Obviously frustration built up for Rance. I can't speak for him but it looked like that," Tyson said.

"As far as we're concerned, we got 50m and a goal, so we were pretty happy.

"If he had his time again, he would probably take it back."

The Match Review Panel will give its verdict on Rance's report on Monday afternoon.

Watts was uninjured and kicked a goal from the resulting free kick.

It was the second consecutive season the twoclubs have played on Anzac Day eve, with Melbourne winning both times.

Tyson said the Demons want to make the matchtheir own.

Melbourne CEO Peter Jackson echoed thosethoughts last week when speaking to AFL.com.au.

"There was a bit of spite in the game. Itwas good to show the supporters that we were invested," he said.

"The build-up was pretty big and it's afixture we want to be in for years to come."

GWS recruit Tom Bugg was up to his usual antics,pointing into the upper deck of the crowd before booting a goal and gesturingat the Richmond cheer squad to be quiet in the second quarter to put his team10 points up.

"That's just Buggy being Buggy as far asI'm concerned," Tyson said.

"If the coaches aren't happy with that, I'msure they'll let him know.

"He's a bit of a pest. He plays with a lotof passion and emotion."

The 33-point win left Melbourne 3-2 ahead ofnext Saturday afternoon's clash against St Kilda at Etihad Stadium.

The Saints have a 12-match win streak againstthe Demons but Tyson said his side's performance against Richmond showed theDees have evolved.

"It felt like a mature win," he said.

"We had a contribution from a lot ofblokes. Boys who were having quiet games still had their moments in the thirdand fourth quarters, when the game was hot.

"They (Richmond) played a good brand offooty, but we outlasted them. It's been a while since we've played consistent,week-in week-out footy."

Melbourne has led or tied for the lead in thelast quarter for all eight of its contests this year, including threepre-season games.
