ST KILDA v. MELBOURNE

Recent game: Round 1 2014 Etihad Stadium – St Kilda 68 defeated Melbourne 51.

In my opinion despite the first bye round, the usual suspects are all playing and are still good options. It is hard to look past Fyfe with Fremantle looking to bounce back from their first loss of the season. Following Fyfe, I would pick Pendlebury, then Kennedy and then Selwood.

Good luck all!
