St Kilda Saints vs Melbourne Demons Preview
The Saints are clinging onto fifth position through 16 rounds of football with a record of nine wins and six losses.
Despite their position they are on the eighth line of betting to win the premiership at $51 which is evident that the punters don’t trust they can go all the way.
Back to back losses against Richmond and the Brisbane Lions was followed by a less than convincing win over West Coast in Perth last weekend and this looms as an important game back in Melbourne.
Melbourne come into this game having suffered back to back losses for the second time this season, failing tests against Geelong and GWS in their last two weeks.
With both wins desperate to keep their top four hopes alive I’m expecting a low scoring and tight contest.
