ST KILDA v PORT ADELAIDE
Sunday 30 June @ Marvel Stadium
Won't there be some storylines for the loser here. Whoever walks away without the 4 points faces so much more scrutiny.
They both lost to Brisbane last outing but St Kilda were far more impressive even in defeat. They finally nailed some through the big sticks and closing right up midway through the last quarter looks good form now.
That release of 7 goals when it counted compounded the annoyance of letting the Lions do the same thing to begin the game.
If Max King can lift that rate of scoring to 5+ goals here then that makes it so much easier for the rest.
Last week showed that that could easily occur as the Power was horrific. Letting the Lions kick 23 goals at their own home ground is an indictment on the entire side.
When Lachie Neale is allowed to run around and gather them up like daisies in a field, then the midfield defence has not done its job. Who wants to put their hands up this time?
| Match | St Kilda | Port Adelaide | Ground |
| Last time they met | 11.6 [72] | 11.16 [82] | Adelaide Oval |
| Last 10 matches | 1 win | 9 wins | |
| Notes | Last 4 have been 13 points or less margins | ||
| St Kilda has only beaten Port once at the Adelaide Oval | |||
Port Adelaide actually has a cracking record at the Docklands. Before their loss to Carlton last year, they'd won their previous 9 there.
After the embarrassment of last week watch for a rebound. Certainly early but potentially the whole game.
Match Selection: Port Adelaide by 7 points
Suggested Bets: Port Adelaide to lead at Quarter Time @ $1.97 @ bet365
