Analysis
Melbourne are in a surprise push for finals and cannot afford to slip up against the struggling Eagles. West Coast hit a new low last round - failing to outscore Richmond in either of the first two quarters before mounting a late challenge. Club-record 19 'losing' quarters in a row tells the story. Melbourne stayed with Sydney until deep in the final quarter last round and are in genuine form.
