Melbourne Demons vs GWS Giants Preview
The patience of the defending premiers may be one of their greatest attributes.
For extended periods throughout their games they are happy to bide their time and control the football when their opposition start to win the contest football and clearances.
They are well drilled and professional outfit but just as impressive as this may be the fact that they can put the foot down and score so quickly.
The GWS Giants may just be the most inconsistent team in football and I am finding them a very tough side to judge so far in season 2022.
If they go 1-4, things will be looking ominous but if anything else this may be a good litmus test for where the Giants are at.
Unfortunately they run into a white hot Melbourne Football Club.
Good teams win but great teams cover and the Dees are a great team.
Continue backing the Demons at the line throughout 2022 and you’ll end up in front.
