The prediction

Melbourne come into this one on the back of a three-point loss to the Western Bulldogs in their most recent outing, last week. That means that the Victorians are now 12 points adrift of leaders Fremantle at the top of the ladder ahead of Round 12.

The GWS Giants have managed five wins and six defeats in their 11 matches thus far. The visitors put in an excellent performance to hammer the defending champions the Brisbane Lions, as they enjoyed a comfortable 78-point victory.

The GWS Giants had been improving and they showed their immense potential last week – and they may actually fancy themselves at Traeger Park on Sunday.
