Best Bet

Carlton -5.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

There have been some rocky patches for Carlton, but they bounced back from consecutive losses with consecutive wins over Gold Coast and Brisbane.

It was a good homestand against the Queensland teams, and now they have a tough match against St Kilda, who looks to bounce back from a loss to Sydney. They have played well enough to be in 11th, but they need to finish the season well to make the finals.

Beating Carlton could prove too difficult for the Saints, who did beat Carlton earlier this season, but times have changed since. Carlton is the team with momentum on their side after a tough start to the year, and it’s a credit to their attitude.

They have knuckled down and put wins on the board, and they could give good teams a tough match if they make the finals. We’re backing Carlton to win and cover the -5.5 spread.

Same Game Multi

Carlton -5.5, Harry McKay 2+ Goals, Brodie Kemp 2+ Goals, Total Points Under 174.5 @ $9.00

Bet Now

Harry McKay was at his best last week with three goals, and a similar performance should be enough to kick 2+ goals this week. The $1.73 odds for 2+ goals is a good price from bookmakers, so include him in AFL SGM picks.

Brodie Kemp had a massive game against Brisbane when kicking five goals. It’s not easy to back that effort up with another, but he has a good chance of kicking a double at $2.

It could be a tight defensive battle, so we’re backing under 174.5 points. The last five meetings between them have gone under, so it’s a strong bet.

Best Value Bet

Carlton Wire-to-Wire @ $2.65

Bet Now

Carlton could pick up where they left off against Brisbane, and we’re picking them up lead at the end of every quarter.

Winning wire-to-wire isn’t tough for a team that starts well, which is Carlton, and they could handle St Kilda from the outset.

The $2.65 odds are worth taking, and this bet always adds interest to the game.
