The final match of the round should be a good win with both teams coming off impressive wins last week.
The Saints produced their best performance thus far this season when accounting for Carlton on Monday night and the Crows thumped GWS by a staggering 132 points!
St. Kilda have been building nicely over recent weeks with good performances against Sydney and Collingwood before last week’s win.
The victory – only their second for the season, came at just the right time for the Saints and they’ll be keen to back that up with a good performance here.
The Crows were competitive against Carlton and Hawthorn prior to be afforded what turned out to be a training run last week against GWS.
Adelaide should win but the 22.5 start to Saint Kilda is generous for mine and, as we did last week, stick with them with the start.
