THE PREDICTION

Reigning champions Melbourne made it back-to-back victories to begin the defence of their title and they have now won their last nine games in the AFL. They were too good for Gold Coast Suns last week and while it was far from a vintage performance, they did what was required to claim the points. They now take on an Essendon side that are yet to get off the mark so far this season having lost both of their contests to date. Brisbane Lions got the better of them last week and it would be a surprise if they were able to get close to the Demons with the hosts able to win by at least 20 points.
