My Prediction
Melbourne Demons by 14Well, let me tell you something, folks - don't break out your pitchforks, this ain't hell. It's just another rough and tumble round 12 AFL matchup between the Melbourne Demons and the St Kilda Saints. The Demons have a leg up, if you believe in the power of numerology, with the previous two matches against the Saints ending in their favor. Stat lovers, put that in your pie chart and graph it!
The Saints have slightly bungled their way to a 4-7 regular season record, while the Demons are tumbling close behind with a soap opera worthy 5-6 record. If this match were a movie, I'd call it 'Close, But No Trophy.'
St Kilda hasn't been robbing cradles or thrilling with last minute wins recently. Their only win in the last five games has been against Fremantle, who can't even defend themselves in social media comments, let alone on the field. On the flip side, Melbourne has been making a habit of pinching victories and moonwalking out of the arena. Their high scoring escapades against Sydney and West Coast seem to suggest they believe in winning big or going home. And ladies and gentlemen, that's entertainment.
So, currently Melbourne sits at #11 and St Kilda is chilling at #13, approximately as comfortable as a cat in a washing machine.
All creative metaphors and meandering storylines aside, let's get to the part you've all been waiting for, my stellar prediction. And here it is, hotter than a fresh pie at the MCG.
