Preview:
The first Sunday match of the round is between the Melbourne Demons and the Sydney Swans, 1.10pm at the MCG. Even though the Demons had a win last week against the Bulldogs, it was a rare one and they are very unlikely to follow it up here. In contrast, the Swans are playing great football at the moment, and are a real chance for the premiership in 2013. While a new coach has refreshed the Demons somewhat, their new fighting spirit will really be put to test this week.

Paul Roos favourite to take Melbourne Demons coaching job
Punters seem convinced that Paul Roos will have liked what he saw over the weekend after Melbourne finally cracked a win, with the premiership coach the clear pick by the punters and firming from $5.00 to $2.00 with online bookmaker sportsbet to coach the Demons next year.
Roos has received more bets and has more money placed on him than any other coach in the market, followed by Mark Williams who was the initial favourite at $4.00.
Rodney Eade has also been well backed, but has drifted slightly from $5.00 to $5.50 while current caretaker coach Neil Craig hasn’t done his chances any harm, firming from $9.00 to $6.00.
“Punters were slow to jump on Roos, but as time goes on he has received more and more interest to the point where we now have him at a flip of a coin to take the Melbourne job!” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.
