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.

GWS v ST KILDA

Saturday 13 April @ Manuka Oval

Exciting teams playing each other doesn't always result in the best matches but boy this one shapes up nicely.

Both played away from the Adelaide Oval in Gather Round and both walked away with good wins when there were times they may not have.

There is a very even nature to the way the Giants are playing. You can control some but not all of them. Whitfield and Kelly might get you but if not, it might be Coniglio and Green.

And for the first time this year, Toby Greene got heavily involved and 5 goals were the result. A suspension though would not have been positive just as he was getting mobile. But he does play.

Richmond fought hard and scared St Kilda for a long while but they did enough at the end. They just didn't have enough goal kickers to put them away.

If they kick 15 goals they become much more dangerous. It isn't out of the question if the half backs hit the Giants hard.

They have a very even record against each other 6/1/8 and it is 2/1 to the Saints at Manuka Oval so that won't faze the away side either.

This has all the hall marks of Ross Lyon playing the 'us against them' mentality. His planning could scare GWS. The longer it is close, the more you could give St Kilda a chance.

But class has a way of showing through. So GWS to show no diplomacy in Canberra and win again.
