SavvyPlays Tip — Strong

01St Kilda by 20

Port Adelaide’s season has gone from bad to worse. At 4–12 they’re the third-worst team in the competition and 2–6 away. St Kilda at 6–8 aren’t spectacular but they’re significantly better and playing at home.

The H2H slightly favours Port 3–2 in the last five, but that’s meaningless given the current trajectory. Port have lost 8 of their last 10.

Unanimous consensus: 27/27 St Kilda at 73.2% with +22.7 margin. We’re at +20.
