Battle for the Spoon: Part 1: Melbourne



Melbourne

 


Last ten games:

Points for: 586 (176 scoring shots) Points against: 998 (258 shots)
Highest score: 93, lowest: 34 (twice)

Next six games:






Currently rating only a 21% chance against the Gold Coast and an 8% chance against GWS although both games are predicted to be close.  Loses during the first two rounds will make it difficult for Melbourne to avoid the 2015 spoon.
With the big difference in the shots for and against it is difficult to see Melbourne not finishing in the bottom three – another year of building and focusing on getting the defence working better and hopefully uncovering a forward or two with some consistency.
