Preview:

Much to the pleasure of Demon players, staff and supporters, this is the final match in what has been yet another very long year.

Melbourne will not be able to add to the season tally of two wins here up against the Bulldogs outfit who has found some form the latter stages of the year and that has been as a result of their ability to score points.

Three of the past five weeks, the Dogs have scored in excess of 100 points compared to 2 from the previous fourteen weeks.

That being said, they were slow out of the blocks last week in Brisbane and trailed by over 50 points in the first half before rallying late to get within seven of the Lions on the siren.

The first half performance was a throw back to the form of earlier in the year and they’ll be looking to finish the season with four wins from six matches and, exact revenge on the Demons who got them by three points back in 14.

They should have no problems doing so.
