West Coast Eagles vs Melbourne Demons Preview
There will be a time when West Coast start to be competitive again.
For the first half against the Lions last week they were hard at the contest and their pressure was enormous which is all you can ask from a depleted football side.
They return home this weekend but this has not been a happy hunting ground for them in recent times having failed to cover the line in their last five straight games.
Seven of Melbourne’s eight wins this season have been by 1-39 points but I think that is a trend that will end this week.
This is going to be a whitewash in the middle of the ground from a team that has so many midfield options.
Clayton Oliver is ranked second in average contested possessions per game and first for clearances.
Unfortunately for West Coast fans, they are in for another rough week.
