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.

Melbourne v Western Bulldogs
Betting Strategy
BACK: (Handicap) Western Bulldogs -24.5 for 1 unit (Rated at $1.85)
The Western Bulldogs have been consistent this season at winning and winning well against lower ranked sides. The Bulldogs are undefeated against sides ranked below them on the ladder, having covered the line when starting as the favourite in nine of these 10 matches.
West Coast v Adelaide
Betting Strategy
BACK: (Total Points) Over 173.5 for 1 unit (Rated at $1.85)
This Adelaide v West Coast fixture has had a habit of being high scoring in previous years, with the Crows forward line making the most of their increased opportunities. Adelaide have averaged 132.8 points against West Coast in their last five meetings, bringing the average total points to 196 and all five matches going over the line- including their Round 11 clash this year.
