Melbourne Demons vs Geelong Cats, Optus Stadium, 10\/9\/21, 7.50pm<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n What a cracking game this will be to kick of the third week of the final, with two teams who have been up the top end of the ladder for all of Season 2021 facing off in a prelim final to make it into the big dance. The Demons last played in a prelim in 2018 at this exact ground and had their pants pulled down. Not kicking a goal till after half-time. If the Demons start well and put those thoughts out of their heads, they will win this game, but the start is crucial. The Cats come into this game as the underdog, and they will thrive on this. Demons need to stop Hawkins and Cameron if they can hold them to minimal goals, they will win, if they let them off the chain early, it could be good night. Lever and May will need to pay close attention to the Cats’ forward line. The Demons have a strong midfield and will use all their run and carry to run the Cats off their feet in the middle. Gawn will be giving first use to the Demons’ mids. Surprising that the Demons have brought in Hibbard instead of Hunt who I thought could have added a lot of speed to the backline on the wide ground of Optus Oval. Huge game and the crowd is sold out. Tipping the Demons here but geez, it will be hot early. Demons by 10.<\/p>\n Head 2 Head<\/strong><\/p>\n Demons have won two of the last three games vs the Cats<\/p>\n Best bet <\/p>\n
