Melbourne Demons vs Gold Coast Suns 2013 AFL Round 7 preview and tips

The Dees host the Suns on the Sunday with the market struggling to separate the two sides given the lack of form displayed by both thus far this season.

It appears to be a case of selecting a team that is the least worst!

Each of the Demons six opponents this years have managed to register in excess of 100 points – including the struggling GWS and Brisbane Lions outfits.

This sees Melbourne with clearly the worst defence in the league.

The Suns fair much better defensively and last week against Fremantle, where within three goals of the Dockers into the third quarter before a poor last quarter let them down.

The start prior was a 44 point win over GWS who the Demons beat by 41 when meeting them in Round 4.

Just can’t take $1.83 about Melbourne and sticking with the Suns.

TIP:  SUNS @ $1.98
