Changes:

📈 The Saints get Jimmy Webster, Mason Wood, Max King back, but Jack Higgins is suspended with Caminiti and Sharman dropped. Zane Cordy is managed. Positive.

📈 The Kangaroos have dropped 4 as the in-season cycling of players continues. Coming in - Pink, Archer, Liam Shiels and Jaiden Stephenson. Small positive.

Head to Head:

St Kilda have won the last 4 meetings, with the last meeting in R19 last season by 8 points. The average margin for those 4 games is 28 points. The Kangaroos won the prior 4 meetings, by an average of 29 points.

Last week:

The Saints went to Adelaide to play Port and came up 10 points short in a game that had 9 lead changes. Port's biggest lead was 21 points midway through Q4 so the final margin might flatter the Saints a little as Port beat them comprehensively through all the stats - Disposals 353-315, Inside 50s 53-46, Clearances 34-30, Contested Ball 139-118 (a big win) and Tackles 83-55 (a smashing). 

North hosted Adelaide in Tassie and copped a 57-point smashing. They lost all the key stats, Disposal 385-319, Inside 50s 60-41, Clearances 44-35, Contested Ball 142-124 and Tackles 57-45. Rebuilds take time but this was a poor one for the Kangaroos. 

What we can expect this week:

At some point, the Kangaroos will show something. Don't think it will be this week as the Saints will enjoy playing under the roof on a fast deck. They should get back on track with a big win. They should cover the -36.5 line with Bet Right just here 

St Kilda -36.5

Let’s be honest - what do you really want from your betting?

For nearly every punter, it boils down to the same things.

You want to win. Of course. Nobody likes losing money. But as you probably know, winning over the long term is hard. Very hard.

You want it to be easy. This isn’t a job for you. It’s a hobby… maybe a bit of a side hustle. But you don’t want  - nor do you have the time - to spend hours and hours each week on trying to decipher where the value in the market is.

You want it to be fun. Nobody got into this for it to be a chore, did they? You want to make good bets, and enjoy riding the outcomes
