Melbourne (1) v GCU (4) @ Etihad Stadium
 
One previous meeting - 3-2 to Melbourne in round 8.
 
Melbourne have won seven of their last nine, GCU have won just three of their last ten.
 
Melbourne's two worst ever home defeats have come in their last three home matches.
 
GCU: Three changes from the side that drew 1-1 with Adelaide last week; Osman, Lustica and Wearing in for Rees, Van Den Brink and Anderson.
 
Melbourne: Same side that started in the 1-0 win over Brisbane last week.
 
Melbourne have scored more goals than any other side this season, but only NQF have conceded more than them.

Hard to see Gold Coast getting anything out of this one.
 
Although I see Ben Williams is reffing. Anything's possible with him in charge.

The stadium was always designed to be able to be changed to a rectangle.

Similar to Paris covering the athletics track.

See O'Brien dislocated a finger this arvo and got it whacked back in and kept on bowling, taking a couple of wickets. Fitzsimons is playing a sport where you're not even supposed to use your fingers and he's going off!
 
Archie should score there.
