Melbourne vs West Coast Eagles Preview

Melbourne will be desperate to restore pride when they face bottom-placed West Coast at Marvel Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Demons are reeling after an historic collapse to St Kilda, coughing up a 46-point three-quarter-time lead in a six-point loss that marked the largest final-term capitulation in V/AFL history. Questions continue to swirl around the club’s leadership, but at 6-13, Melbourne still sits well clear of the struggling Eagles.

West Coast’s woes deepened last week with a 49-point derby defeat to Fremantle, taking their season record to 1-18. The Eagles were no match for Melbourne in Round 8, falling by 32 points as Max Gawn produced a dominant all-round display.

The Demons have claimed five of the past six meetings between the sides and will be heavy favourites here. But after last week’s humiliation, all eyes will be on how they respond.
