Melbourne Demons vs Hawthorn Hawks Preview
Melbourne look to be in a league of their own at the moment and will go into Saturday’s game against Hawthorn as the clear favourites.
Hawthorn have been impressive this season though and although they’re yet to play their round 6 game at the time this was written they should be confident that can challenge a team like Melbourne.
I just can’t see Melbourne losing a game at the moment though, a loss will no doubt come but it’s going to catch us by surprise.
I’ll keep backing Melbourne until they give us a reason not to.
Betting Update:
There’s been a bit of money for both teams this week but the end result has seen both sides end up close to where they were when markets opened.
Melbourne are the clear favourites at $1.22 with Ladbrokes. Hawthorn have had fans after Melbourne COVID woes but they remain at $4.25.
