The Demons rank 4th in Hitouts Win Percentage and 4th in Centre Clearances despite their poor standing in the league. West Coast are ranked 18th in both metrics and are tipped to struggle against a polished opponent like Melbourne in those areas.

The Dees were once again on the wrong end of football history last weekend allowing the Saints to record the biggest ever comeback in VFL/AFL history. Ahead by 46 points at the 3rd quarter break it looked done and dusted. But it wasn’t.
Max Gawn once again led from the front with 45 hitouts and 8 marks but the leadership from the All-Australian and his star counterparts around the field was telling in its absence in the final term as they were unable to stop their opponent from roaring home to victory.
Melbourne have some tough choices to make this off-season with players coming off contract, trade talks and a possible coaching switch on the cards.

Another Western Derby and another loss for the lowly Eagles as they went down 126-77 at Optus last weekend.
West Coast have just 1 win on the board this season and are almost certainties for the wooden spoon now they have shut down a few players including Harley Reid.
The team has allowed an average of 103 points per game to opponents this season with no major improvements made on the defensive end throughout their campaign.
The direction of the rebuild sits firmly in limbo with talks of Reid possibly looking to move on from the club that is severely lacking in direction and hope.
