Melbourne Demons vs Adelaide Crows Preview
Melbourne made the tough call to drop Brodie Grundy and play Max Gawn as their only ruckman against Brisbane and it paid massive dividends.
Not only did they take away the four points in a thriller but Gawn had his best game in some time in an absolutely dominant performance in the middle of the ground.
He gathered 29 disposals, laid seven tackles, had 39 hitouts and a mammoth 162 fantasy points.
Adelaide look a team that has gassed out.
Their young outfit had a great half a season but they have now lost three of there last four games and have fallen to 12th position.
All is not lost however, especially when you consider their high percentage and they have covered the line in eight of their last nine against opponents higher on the ladder than they are.
They have, however, lost their last seven games at the MCG.
