Preview:
This is a rematch of last year’s Preliminary Final and it is fair to say that Melbourne have not been the same team since then.
No team in the AFL this season has been worse from a betting perspective than Melbourne and it doesn’t get any easier for them against West Coast.
The Demons have won only four of their past 13 games as underdogs and they are 6-7 against the line when being given a start.
West Coast suffered a heart-breaking defeat at the hands of Collingwood last weekend and they are 5-1 on the back of a loss over the past 12 months.
The Eagles have won 14 of their past 18 games as favourites for a clear profit and they are 11-7 against the line in this scenario.
It might not be as ugly as the Preliminary Final last season, but West Coast should still prove far too strong for the Melbourne in this encounter.
