Preview:
It’s a bit of a Friday fizzer, but with both sides looking to end the season on a high note, this cellar-dweller clash could produce a few fireworks.
The Demons had their chances during last week’s 17-point loss to Collingwood, but the same old story – wayward goalkicking – cost the Dees a chance.
Things weren’t quite as clear cut for the Swans during their 47-point loss to the Power. Sydney fought hard in the first quarter but managed only three goals between half time and the final siren.
These two sides met back in Round 4 at the SCG, a game the Demons won comfortably by 22-points. Nathan Jones chipped in with three goals, helping the Dees race away in the final quarter.
Considering both sides are looking to snap lengthy losing streaks though, don’t be surprised if this one turns out close. The Swans and the Dees both rank Top 10 in goals and inside ‘50s allowed to opponents, so instead of backing a straight-up winner, stick with the Margin market.
