Adelaide Crows vs Melbourne Demons Preview
The recent form of these two clubs tells you all you need to know.
The Crows are still searching for their first win, while the Dees are coming off a huge away scalp against Port in what can only be described as a convincing performance from Simon Goodwins men with plenty happening in the headlines.
Adelaide has played good footy for patches, but that wont fly against a Melbourne team that has proven very stingy when it comes to giving up goals, currently ranked fourth in fewest conceded to opponents.
Down the other end, the Dees are averaging close to eight more goals a game compared to their opponent, not to mention how lethal their pressure has been around the footy.
This is a tough travel spot on the road for back-to-back weeks, but side by side, these two appear to be headed in opposite directions.
