We'll endeavour to run through the form, incorporate appropriate stats and also supply a betting prediction which won't always just be who will win.

MELBOURNE v SYDNEY

Sunday 25 May @ MCG

The battle of Australia's two biggest cities might not be the battle on the park in 2025.

But at the very least they somewhat surprisingly arrive both off a win. Still both sitting outside the Eight, they have the same record and perhaps just starting to find a little bit of touch.

Melbourne does bring in superior form having beaten Brisbane away from home. That was such a strong effort to come from 4 goals down at times to win going away.

Led by Petracca and others tagging along, they pressured the Lions into errors. That was Melbourne at their best not too far back.

Match Melbourne Sydney Ground
Last time they met    9.10 [64] 12.14 [86] SCG
Last 10 matches 4 wins 6 wins  
Notes The last game was Opening Round last year.
Last time the Swans scored 100+ points was 2013.
Can Sydney bring that same determination to the MCG? It really was a shocking game over Carlton and took them until the last quarter to get moving.

But once Heeney and Warner put the afterburners on, trouble awaits. Had Isaac kicked straight it would have been a performance for the ages.

But now more departures occur with suspensions. Amartey gone means they aren't straightened up as they were.

The Swans on top form wins but that isn't the case. So the Demons are the more likely winners.

Match Selection: Melbourne by 18 points

Suggested Bets: Melbourne @ $2.00
