We'll endeavour to run through the form, incorporate appropriate stats and also supply a betting prediction which won't always just be who will win.
ST KILDA v WESTERN BULLDOGS
Thursday 12 June @ Marvel Stadium
We begin the round with two sides out of the Eight. And boy oh boy for the loser, it won't be cactus, but it shows that they are marking time at present.
St Kilda is off the Bye and an excellent, if not expected win over the Demons. They are more than capable of pulling out the odd big performance but need to get some consistency.
When they do run and gun and get that flow off half back, they are extremely exciting. The trouble is it doesn't happen often enough.
It is Wanganeen-Milera, it is Hill, it is Sinclair but they all have to contribute.
| Match | St Kilda | Western Bulldogs | Ground |
| Last time they met | 8.8 [56] | 18.19 [127] | Marvel |
| Last 10 matches | 4 wins | 6 wins | |
| Notes | In their last 7 clashes, St Kilda has averaged only 65 points. | ||
| By contrast the Bulldogs have scored 124 or more in 3 of their last 5 meetings. | |||
As for the Bulldogs they get you in all the time that they are Top 4 material and then serve up what happened against Hawthorn.
They gave the Hawks a start and never ever looked like being capable of running them down.
You can often tell with them if they are on. Early momentum is their passion.
Logic says the Bulldogs win as they surely are the better side, have more wins and a vastly better percentage. But with both having Marvel as the home deck, you couldn't be certain.
The Dogs just have to win with any thoughts of Top 4. Should be some points scored.
Match Selection: Western Bulldogs by 15 points
Suggested Bets: Total Points Over 166.5+ @ $1.90
