Melbourne Demons vs GWS Giants Preview
Melbourne are flying at the moment and head into this game against GWS Giants undefeated.
The Giants have won just of their four games this season and will find it tough to improve on that record in this game.
The Giants best would be capable of upsetting the Demons but they’re yet to show any sign of their best footy this season.
Melbourne to win, just a question of by how much?
Betting Update:
All the money this week has been for Melbourne and that comes as no surprise.
The Dees haven’t missed a beat this season and $1.16 looks like the right price for them here.
GWS are out to $5.40 after opening up at $3.35 this week, fair to say bookmakers can’t take a bet on them.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Melbourne Demons to win at $1.16 odds.
