THE PREDICTION

Melbourne took advantage of Western Bulldogs’ defeat to Sydney Swans last week by beating Port Adelaide in what was a hard-fought win and that saw them open up a four-point lead at the top of the ladder. The Demons dominated throughout and came out on top in all four quarters of the contest and they will be desperate to make it back-to-back victories after struggling for consistency of late. They take on struggling Hawthorn in their latest contest and they come into this on the back of a heavy loss to Fremantle last time out. The Hawks have lost their last four meetings with the Demons and there is little to suggest that record will improve here with the hosts able to condemn their opponents to another big loss of at least 30 points.
