Best Bet
The first-half line is the play here as Carlton continue to perform early in games.
The Blues are 5-2 in first halves this season and 0-7 in second halves, a split that has become one of the most reliable trends in the competition. To be fair, St Kilda actually follow a similar pattern, sitting 5-2 in first halves but 2-5 in the second.
The Saints are also a horrible betting proposition as favourites, covering in just three of their last ten from that position. They also continue to play in close contests, with 10 of their last 12 games decided by fewer than 15 points.
Carlton get some significant ins with Marc Pittonet, Harry McKay, Ollie Hollands and Adam Saad all returning, while St Kilda lose Liam Ryan who had been one of their better recruits this season.
Back the Blues to remain close at the main break.
Same Game Multi
Half-backs against St Kilda continues to be one of the most reliable angles in the competition. Nic Newman and Ollie Florent should both fill up freely here.
Jack Higgins has been on fire over the last fortnight, kicking nine goals in two games, and has kicked two in each of his last two matches against Carlton.
Value Bet
The half-back versus St Kilda angle has been a strong bet for years and Newman has been cashing in. He has had 35 disposals in each of his last two games against the Saints and walks into this match-up in solid enough form, with two 24-touch games in his last five. This is a great bet.
