Greater Western Sydney Giants vs Melbourne Demons Preview
The stakes are high this week for GWS as they look to forget all about last week’s flat effort against the Dockers in Perth.
Now 0-2, the Giants will know this is a must-win game on Sunday with Collingwood and the rival Swans up next, but as the odds suggest, a win looks far from a guarantee down in Canberra.
As for Melbourne, a newfound sense of optimism and belief has swept over the Dees’ fan base.
The Round 1 win over Fremantle left a lot to be desired, but Simon Goodwin’s side responded nicely last week to force St Kilda into a handful of key errors in their 18-point win.
That said, this does shape as a potential trap game for punters.
While the Giants have lacked their usual spark and looked lifeless at times, the home-field advantage of Manuka Oval isn’t to be underestimated.
It’s also fair to give GWS a mulligan after losing to St Kilda in very sloppy conditions in Round 1 before trying to back it up with a quick trip to Perth less than a week later.
The Dees looked very good last week, but it wouldn’t be the first time Melbourne has got our hopes up only to fall apart seven days later.
With their season on the line, expect a big response from Leon Cameron’s crew.
