The prediction
Melbourne were involved in a thriller against Sydney last time out, although it was a contest they ultimately lost with the Swans triumphing 131-114 at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
The Demons were unfortunate to lose the talented Brody Mihocek to injury in that contest, and his loss will be keenly felt as Steven King's side look to consolidate their place in the top ten.
They are unlikely to miss him much in this encounter at least, given that West Coast have given up the most points in the entire division and have picked up just two wins to date.
Expect the Demons to rack up the points here, as they bounce back from their bruising defeat to Sydney.
Melbourne vs West Coast tip: Melbourne to win with -43.5 handicap
