Melbourne Demons vs Greater Western Sydney Giants Preview
The Demons notched win number 12 against the Bombers last round, and it was the 11th time this season that they won by a margin of 1-39. It takes their record to 7-0 at the MCG this year, and they’ll return back their once again this weekend.
They’re up against the Giants who they’ve got a very good recent record against, winning five of the last seven including their Round 3 clash by 34 points.
The last 12 games between these two teams have seen the winner cover the line, and with Melbourne’s recent record against GWS along with the recent form of both teams The Wolf believes the Dees should be too good at the MCG – but the line of -31.5 is a concern.
Only three of Melbourne’s 12 wins this season have been by 32 points or more, and although the Giants were extremely poor against the Hawks it appears to be a big number. Six of GWS’ seven losses have been by a margin of 1-39 and I expect a similar outcome on Saturday.
