Come on, Melbourne!

But the bookies give WC a 76% chance of winning...

They make GWS (over Carlton) the biggest favourites of the round, with an 84% chance of winning. They think the tightest favourite is Brisbane, with a 54% chance at home to beat Adelaide.

Melbourne are injury depleted.

Think the Eagles should win this comfortably.

After their first goal, Petracca missed a sitter -- a set shot just outside the goal square. The set-shot kicking in the AFL is unbelievable.

At QT, Melb 22-20 WC.

WC's K:H ratio is about 2.5:1.
Melb lead I50s 15-10 but some of the quality has been poor.
WC lead tackles 20-9.

T. McDonald started very well.

Venables injury worry for WC. Not an influential player, but if they are down a rotation...

If Melb don't win this game, they'll rue not making the most of their periods of dominance.
They lead I50s 45-28 in time on of Q3, but are only 1.6 ahead.

Demons following our game plan of not burying them by getting 8 goals up.
Annoying opposition supporters since 1967.
