West Coast Eagles vs Melbourne Demons Preview
The Eagles are facing a crisis with a mounting injury list that includes key players like Jeremy McGovern and Jamie Cripps. They are set to face a formidable Melbourne side that is among the Premiership favorites this season.
Melbourne was in scintillating form in their win over the Swans last week, with Clayton Oliver and promising youngster Jacob van Rooyen playing starring roles. The Dees have bounced back nicely after their lacklustre performance against the Lions in Round 2.
West Coasts injury woes have made them a difficult team to back, and it doesn’t help that the Dees had a massive 74-point win over them when they last met. The trip to Perth may be challenging, but with the likes of van Rooyen and Ben Brown stepping up and Brodie Grundy leading the charge in the absence of Max Gawn, it’s hard to see anything other than a comfortable Melbourne win.
