Summary
The Demons came close to recording a memorable win over Fremantle at Subiaco Oval last round, but fell short by 11 points. Despite making some headway with its slow starts in the past two rounds, Melbourne was again haunted by this issue, which proved costly in the wash-up. The Demons were down by 44 points in the second term, but a stunning third quarter revival got the Dees within one-point of the home side. A nail-biting final term followed, although Melbourne still couldn’t record its first win at Subiaco in six years. Mixed emotions followed for the red and blue, but ultimately frustration overruled. The Demons have now notched up five-and-a-half wins this season, including a fine win over Essendon in round 15, but have achieved just two victories since chalking up three in a row from rounds three to five. On the flipside, the Swans have had a good season, notching up nine wins, including five in succession from rounds two to six. Although a four-match losing streak followed, the Swans have bounced back with four wins from their past six outings. Finals are firmly in the Swans’ sights and another September appearance will cap off an outstanding coaching stint for the outgoing Paul Roos.
Players to watch
Melbourne - Jordie McKenzie: The hard-at-it midfielder has been one of Melbourne’s underrated stories this season. Still on the club’s rookie list, McKenzie has been given several important run-with roles, but has also been able to win his own ball. Last round against Fremantle, he was particularly impressive against David Mundy in the second half, while he finished with 21 disposals.
Sydney Swans - Shane Mumford: The former Cat has been an outstanding recruit for the Swans this year, shining in the ruck, particularly in the absence of the injured Mark Seaby. Mumford had 33 hit outs against Carlton last round and has had as many as 46 in one outing this season, against Essendon in round 11. His duel with in-form Demon Mark Jamar should be fascinating.
Leading disposal winners so far in 2010
Melbourne: Brent Moloney (380)
Sydney Swans: Nick Malceski (374)
Leading goalkickers so far in 2010

How’s stat?
Melbourne has played the Swans just once at the MCG in their past 10 outings. They have played at Manuka Oval on the past three occasions and have also played at the SCG, ANZ Stadium and Etihad Stadium since 2003.
Memorable match
Round 15, 1991: Melbourne 26.21 (177) d Sydney Swans 14.10 (94), SCG
The Demons recorded their fourth highest ever score against - just a goal shy of breaking their greatest score 28.14.182 (achieved twice against North Melbourne in 1986 and 1991). Goalkicking duo Allen Jakovich (8.8) and Darren Bennett (7.2) were the stars of the show in Melbourne’s 83-point victory. Jakovich and Bennett duly received three Brownlow votes and two respectively, with Todd Viney (a game-high 32 disposals) gaining one vote.

What Dean says …
“We probably need to not cough up a couple of easy goals, as we did on the weekend. Starts are important and we need to get on with it to ensure that it is a real arm wrestle at the start of the game [this Sunday]. The last three weeks, we started well against the Saints and the Bombers [but] last weekend it was very disappointing. I think it was probably the goals that were given - our contribution to the goals - but obviously Fremantle finished it off which was disappointing."
Key Melbourne question
The Demons haven’t beaten the Swans since round four, 2006. Melbourne has defeated every other side in the competition since. Can the red and blue end this four-year drought?
