Preview:
It’s another big week for Simon Goodwin’s side as the Dees look to make up for last week’s disappointment against the Eagles in Perth.
Melbourne looked well on their way to seeking revenge for last year’s Prelim Final loss, right before the defence was caught napping in the final quarter allowing the Eagles to race away with six game-winning goals.
Sitting third on the ladder, the Giants aren’t quite so desperate for a win, but they’ll certainly be hoping to put an end to their abysmal 2-16 record at the MCG this weekend. The Giants pummeled Carlton by 93-points last week to earn their sixth win of the year, but after last fortnight’s poor performance against the Hawks in Melbourne, there are still plenty of questions left to be answered.
Aside from snapping their MCG hoodoo though, the Giants will also be hoping to make up for their 45-point loss at the hands of the Demons last year. GWS have defeated Melbourne only once in five games so far, but the bookies still seem to be in all-in on the Giants.
It might sound simple, but GWS need to kick straight to win this game. Wayward shots in front of goal cost the Giants against the Hawks, and if they can somehow weather the Demons pressure through the midfield, there shouldn’t be any excuses for Leon Cameron’s side not to walk away with the points.
The Giants are 4-1 as the away favourite against the line over the last 12 months, so back GWS to make a statement and win comfortably.
