ST KILDA v FREMANTLE
Saturday 18 May @ Marvel Stadium
The Ross Lyon/Ross Lyon/Ross Lyon Cup takes on even more significance with the media scrutiny for the week.
There wasn't much to be positive about coming from the Saints loss to Hawthorn. Credit to the Hawks but if St Kilda are to be considered a hope, given their season's start, they needed to win that.
At no point did they lead at Launceston and even though it tightened up at the end, it was an injustice should they have won it.
Trouble for Lyon is they've already been making changes at selection and it still hasn't brought about an alteration in performance. He's goes whack again with six more.
They can't score simple as that. Can Fremantle provide them a framework to score?
The Dockers just had a bye last week. A very forgivable scenario after the death of an ex-teammate.
Judge them more this week when able to focus more on footy. Kicking straight will be an emphasis at training though.
| Match | St Kilda | Fremantle | Ground |
| Last time they met | 10.7 [67] | 7.10 [52] | Marvel Stadium |
| Last 10 matches | 6 wins | 4 wins | |
| Notes | Only once in 41 clashes has a team scored 100+ points and lost | ||
| St Kilda has only kicked more than 11 goals once in last 8 clashes | |||
You can write the Saints off for 2024 if they lose this. And to be honest Fremantle are a decent side so happy to take them as the outsider.
Match Selection: Fremantle by 12 points
Suggested Bets: Fremantle 1-39 @ 2.35 @ bet365
