Geelong Cats vs Melbourne Demons Preview
Geelong are in a precarious position in 10th position having lost five of their last six.
The Cats regained some crucial personal for their game against Port last Thursday evening but it was to no avail, going down by 38 points.
The midfield and in particular clearances have been a cornerstone for success at Geelong, but this stat has fallen right away in recent weeks.
They are 14th in clearance differential and 17th in points differential from clearances in the last six weeks which is a huge concern especially considering they lose Patrick Dangerfield again to injury.
Many punters and pundits were singing the praises of Jeremy Cameron during the early part of the season but his form has fallen right away, kicking just six goals in his last five games.
The Dees had a confidence boosting, four point win over Collingwood before their bye, with that margin flattering the Pies.
Melbourne had nine more scoring shots, 10 more inside 50s and eight more marks inside 50 than the Pies and the Dees are firmly entrenched in the top 4.
Only Port Adelaide has scored more points than Geelong this season but it has been the failure to stop the opposition from scoring that has been the issue.
The last six straight games between Geelong and Melbourne at GMHBA Stadium have gone OVER the total match points line but with rain forecast, I would stay away from this market until game day.
This is a must win for the Cats and the fact they are back at home, and the price available, I’ll stick with them.
