Melbourne Demons vs Western Bulldogs Preview

Melbourne Demons face a daunting challenge after a disappointing start to 2024, struggling with efficiency in attack. The Bulldogs, in a familiar position of uncertainty, could sway from contenders to non-contenders quickly.

The upcoming match is crucial for the Demons, risking an 0-2 start against the Bulldogs, who enter the game with a significant break. Keep an eye on debutant Ryley Sanders, a promising Tasmanian talent.

If Melbourne can stay close early, the Bulldogs’ tendency to lose momentum after halftime could work in their favor. With their deeper roster, the Demons are better equipped to overcome inefficiencies and adapt to challenges, giving them an advantage in this pivotal clash.
