Melbourne v Brisbane Nov 18
With Melbourne there is a surprise around every corner. They nip over to NZ, travel to a place that is almost as cold, windy and grey as The City of Soy, then beat the Breakers.
Brisbane have had their feet up this round so far, but that might not mean much. This is the first time this season these teams have met and so much has happened between drinks. This will certainly be a test of their skills after a perfect score last round.
Gliddon with have his hands full with the CG43. You would think Melbourne has the advantage in many match ups with Jason Cadee having nightmares about what and Ware his opponent will do today. Bring a chair and a whip Jace, you might need it to tame this lion.
The Reuben might be the X factor late. You would expect the tired legs of Melbourne to be the telling factor as they drop off to cramp in the 4th, but a fierce home crowd will push them to the limit.
It's on Go, so you can grab yourself an organic soy latte, put flowers in your hipster beard and watch the game in the comfort of your home and feel like you are actually in Melbourne in the safety of your own home with the Apex gang.
Close tight game, but Melbourne to squeeze the toothpaste tube right at the end in a thriller.
