BACK: (Handicap) Fremantle -22.5 for 1 unit (Rated at $1.85)
Since their round eight loss to St Kilda, the Dockers did eventually turn their season around, now on a five game winning streak and average winning margin of 28 points. Their form at home is also strong with six wins in their last seven. St Kilda have only won two of their last 10 matches and their eight losses have been quite concerning with the Saints failing to cover the line in any of these losses.

The Cats have successfully covered the line in six of their last seven games against bottom nine sides- winning by an average margin of 72 points.
BACK: (Total Points) Over 181.5 for 0.5 units (Rated at $1.85)
