Hawthorn Hawks vs Melbourne Demons Preview
I still can’t believe that we’re a month into the season and Melbourne are currently undefeated.
It’s a remarkable start to the year for the Dees and they should be increasing their win record when they take on the Hawks this Sunday.
Hawthorn had a tough trip to Perth last week so I can’t see them bouncing back with an upset win here. Dees to win.
Market Update:
It has been a bit of an up and down betting market in this match on Sunday with the Hawks opening at $3.60 before drifitng out to $4.10 before being backed late into $3.55.
The Demons follow that trend and were backed heavily as markets opened into $1.24 but have been on the drift ever since and are now at $1.30 which was their opening price.
Head To Head Bet
