Show Preview
The struggling Sydney Swans will face another tough task, as they ‘host’ the Melbourne Demons at Cazaly’s Stadium in Cairns. Join The Roar for live scores from 4:40pm (AEST).
After an impressive 41-point upset win over the Giants, the Swans have found the going a lot tougher since. They were held to a record-low score of 19 against Fremantle in a 31-point loss, before getting rolled in the first half before recovering to go down to the Power by 26 points. An escape from the bottom four seems unlikely.
Melbourne, on the other hand, find themselves in the box seat to make a miraculous return to the finals. They recovered from their tough loss to the Bulldogs last week by upsetting St Kilda, giving them four wins from their last five matches to give them a good shot at finishing eighth ahead of a sizeable chasing pack.
The Swans dropped their first meeting with the Demons last season, but enjoyed a stellar run of seven straight wins beforehand. Sydney haven’t lost consecutive matches against Melbourne since 2001. Neither side has played for premiership points in Cairns before.
