Where and when: MCG, Sunday May 26, 1.10pm AEST
Last time they met: MCG, round 23, 2018: Melbourne 15.12 (102) defeated Greater Western Sydney 8.9 (57)
A five-goal third term sealed a vital top-eight scalp for Melbourne as it hurtled towards its first finals series in 12 years. Ruckman Max Gawn set the tone for the Dees, while Stephen Coniglio, who spent time forward, was the Giants' best.

What it means for Melbourne: A clear signal that Melbourne's season is back on track. The Demons showed signs against West Coast they were returning to their exciting 2018 form but couldn't quite get over the line.
What it means for GWS: A rare win at the MCG. Leon Cameron acknowledged the Giants' abysmal record at the ground Grand Finals are played at, and a win just two weeks later will help.

How Melbourne wins: Employing the strong defensive pressure and discipline shown against the Eagles, as well as improving their skill execution, particularly in front of goal.
How GWS wins: Shutting down James Harmes. The hard-running midfielder has been highly influential in the Demons' past three matches and is capable of breaking the game open with a goal or two.
The stat: Nathan Jones enjoys playing the Giants. The Melbourne co-captain averages 27 disposals a game against GWS, his highest average against all sides in the competition.
The match-up: Max Gawn v Shane Mumford
They're two of the most influential ruckmen in the competition, who are more than capable of dominating a match at their peak. Gawn is currently ranked first in the AFL Player Ratings, with Mumford 361st overall.
It's a big week for: A Giant MCG hoodoo
Hot off a comprehensive 93-point win over Carlton, GWS will have its confidence up, but will be facing its bogey ground. The Giants have played 16 games at the MCG over its 7.5 years in the AFL for just two wins.

Big call: Jeremy Cameron to rebound from a rare goalless match to kick a bag of five
Prediction: Giants by 17 points

Its a Giant Struggle that's for sure

No Streams on GDTs. Banzhammerz inbound in that case.​

Iiiiiits... GAMEDAY!!

..wait

 

[Simon_Says]

I'm of the belief that Giants "Giant" Problem with the MCG will be the reaosn we win.
On paper sure it looks like the Giants take it easy. Tipped the dees, dont often tip them much this year at least.
No reason why we cant sing the song tomorrow, dees by 10

 

[deeco]

Time to wrap the season up, at least we almost made it to the bye this year

 

[Jamurp]

Feeling those pre WC match vibes, for some reason I think we’ll play well again, based on nothing of course.

Hopeful prediction of dees by 24.

As opposed to last year when we made the prelim?

Boohoo.

 

[Tulip]

We're going to win you bunch of campaigners, and I'm sad I won't be there for it.

 

[rhaz]

We're 17th if we lose by 40 points today.

Pick two in the midseason draft ooooh yeah!!

No

Just when I thought this couldn’t get any worse:

 

[Tulip]

I'm less confident now. Replacing one of our best players with a guy who has no role and wouldn't get a game at Carlton on current form.

 

[Jaras1]

That is a monumental out. Hope fading fast!

 

[AmericanAFL]

Just when I thought this couldn’t get any worse:

The fun never stops

 

[mrmonkey]

Salems not in should I hop off the train?

 

[Jamurp]

Damn, huge out, Giants by 30 now.

 

[Scythe94]

Damn, huge out, Giants by 130 now.

EFA

 

[Demon 16]

Salems not in should I hop off the train?

Jump in front of it..

 

[AmericanAFL]

Jump in front of it..

Not bad mate

 

[Proper Gander]

Salem out? Ugh. THAT IS NOT GOOD

Though on the positive side it has made me open a beer

 

[Cannon82]

Good change, I like it. Salem not AFL standard.

 

[MarcMaverick]

What happened to Salem? Legit Injury or rested before the trip to Darwin?

 

[TheCount]

What happened to Salem? Legit Injury or rested before the trip to Darwin?

He finished the game off the ground last week with concussion

Uhh, yes. That’s my excuse too.

 

[mrmonkey]

I noticed Petracca getting extra goal kicking practice. His ball drop still looks too high still. It doesn't look he guides the ball down properly. Maybe it's just me.
