The prediction

The weaknesses of GWS Giants were exposed in brutal fashion against Western Bulldogs last week, with Adam Kingsley's side suffering an 81-point hammering at Marvel Stadium.

The Giants' tactics came into question in the aftermath, given that Bulldogs star Marcus Bontempelli was essentially given free reign on the pitch.

St Kilda played their part in one of the standout matches last week, but they were ultimately on the losing end against Melbourne in a contest that saw the lead change hands several times.

Boasting four goals and 25 possessions, Max Hall was a standout performer for the Saints, who will once again look towards their forward for inspiration in this encounter.

There will have been an inquest in the Giants camp after last week's performance though, and you have to think they will come out with purpose here. This could go close, but we're marginally backing the hosts to right the wrongs of the Marvel Stadium embarrassment.
