St Kilda were excellent last week in their eight-point win over GWS, but the Bulldogs have dominated this matchup recently. They have won the last three meetings by 72, 71 and 60 points, and their key forwards have repeatedly caused major problems for the Saints’ defence.
The Bulldogs got crushed by Adelaide last week, unable to recover from conceding 9 goals in the first quarter. How much you read into that performance is up to you, however, from my side they were much improved in their three matches prior and that is where my weight is in this one.
The total over is also in play, with the model projecting 191.5 points against a market total of 184.5. St Kilda are averaging 89.6 points across their last five, while the Bulldogs’ recent results have been volatile enough to suggest this can open up if both sides get clean forward-half looks.
Aaron Naughton 3+ goals is the player prop angle. He has kicked 12 goals in his last three games against St Kilda, including bags of three, three and six.
Take Western Bulldogs to Win, Over 184.5 Total Points and Aaron Naughton 3+ Goals.
- The Bulldogs have won six of the last 10 meetings in this matchup.
- The Bulldogs have beaten St Kilda by 72, 71 and 60 points in the last three meetings.
- The model projects 191.5 total points, seven points above the 184.5 market line.
- Aaron Naughton has kicked 12 goals in his last three games against St Kilda.
Head to Head
The Bulldogs have owned this matchup over the past three seasons, winning the last three meetings by massive margins.
They beat St Kilda 132-60 in Round 14 last season, 127-56 earlier in 2025 and 124-64 in 2024. That is a combined margin of 203 points across the last three clashes, and the Saints have conceded at least 124 points in each of those games.
St Kilda still hold the all-time head-to-head edge, but recent history strongly favours the Bulldogs, particularly through their tall forward setup and ability to generate repeat scoring shots.
St Kilda Saints Form Analysis
St Kilda snapped back into form with a strong 96-88 win over GWS, responding well after losses to Sydney, Hawthorn and Fremantle.
The Saints have averaged 89.6 points across their last five games, but they have also conceded 97.6 points per game across that same stretch. That defensive profile is the concern here, especially against a Bulldogs side that has repeatedly opened them up in recent meetings.
Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera was outstanding against GWS with 32 disposals and 775 metres gained, while Liam Ryan has added serious scoring punch after kicking six goals last week. St Kilda have weapons, but they need to hold up better defensively than they have in this matchup.
Western Bulldogs Form Analysis
The Bulldogs were poor last week against Adelaide, conceding nine goals in the opening quarter and losing by 57 points.
Before that, their form was stronger, with wins over Hawthorn, Collingwood and Melbourne. They are still sitting inside the top eight and have enough midfield power through Brownlow favourite Marcus Bontempelli, Ed Richards, Bailey Dale and Ryley Sanders to rebound quickly.
The key is the forward line. Aaron Naughton has a dominant recent record against St Kilda, and will need to be on fire again with the Bulldogs conceding an average of 93 points over their last 4 matches. If the Bulldogs get enough supply, their scoring profile is much better than last week’s 64-point return suggests.
