ST KILDA v CARLTON

Friday 9 May @ MCG

A couple of co-tenants at Marvel play at the MCG (interesting) in what became even more fascinating after last week.

The Saints put the end to a three loss streak with an emphatic win based on a strong defensive display.

The Blues put an end to a three win streak with an emphatic loss based on no play at all.

In a real, old fashioned Ross Lyon game, St Kilda almost bored the Dockers to death by half time (27/7) and from there roared away.

It was based around hunting the man and enclosing everything. It worked a charm.

Match St Kilda Carlton Ground
Last time they met 11.10 [76] 11.8 [74] Marvel
Last 10 matches 7 wins 3 wins  
Notes Last 8 games, only once has the margin been greater than 22 points.
St Kilda has won 5 of those last 8 games and yet has never scored more than 93.
So now the Blues face the prospect of a similar tactic, albeit it is slightly harder at the MCG.

Carlton lost by 10 goals to Adelaide and that was probably being kind. A fast opposition start hurt them and just got faster.

Losing every quarter is generally a good indication that you've offered very little. Even though they lost important players, the Crows had several changes too.

In a season of flip flops, another is on the cards here. No surprise the Blues are favourites on that level. For no logical reason suggesting they win.

Match Selection: Carlton by 12 points

Suggested Bets: Carlton -7.5 @ $1.90
