Two-time North Melbourne premiership player David King has made his selections for the remainder of Round 4.
On SEN’s The Picks, King and Julian De Stoop discussed all the matches ahead this weekend and how they forecast them panning out.
(King and De Stoop both picked Essendon at the line on Thursday night).
Kingy’s Round 4 Picks
Odds supplied by Play Up
Port Adelaide v Richmond
Kingy says: “I think Port will bounce back. I think Kenny (Hinkley) will have them ready to go.
“The Tigers won’t be too fussed. They’ll go over there, give their best shot but I’d be taking Port.”
Pick: Port at the line (-9.5).
Western Bulldogs v Brisbane
Kingy says: “You generally get a pretty ordinary, scratchy day (in Ballarat), the Dogs love it that way in the trenches.
“I will be taking the Dogs at the -12.5.”
Pick: Bulldogs at the line (-12.5).
St Kilda v West Coast
Kingy says: “NicNat at the centre bounce is going to give them three goals and keep St Kilda at arm’s length.
“I’m a massive fan of what West Coast are doing.”
Pick: West Coast at the line (-14.5).
Extra pick: De Stoop has West Coast to win by 35 points or more.
Gold Coast v Carlton
Kingy says: “I think Carlton could get hold of the Coasters.
“Probably bet of the week.”
Pick: Carlton at the line (-2.5).
Collingwood v GWS
Kingy says: “There’s nothing that tells you that the Giants should win this game, except that they always give the Pies difficulty.
“Leon (Cameron)’s going to have to pull a rabbit of the hat for this one. You’d think Collingwood would win, but Giants at the line.”
Pick: GWS at the line (+26.5).
North Melbourne v Adelaide
Kingy says: “19.5 is a very shallow line. If you’re tipping with your head, you’re thinking one goal a quarter, the Crows are better than the Kangas for 20 points.
“I expected the line to be 40 to be honest.”
Pick: Initially tipped Adelaide at the line (-19.5), later changed to North at the line (+19.5).
Extra pick: De Stoop has North Melbourne at the line (+19.5).
Melbourne v Geelong
Kingy says: “It will be a ripper game. The slow ball movement in the end will get up for the Cats.”
Pick: Geelong head to head.
Fremantle v Hawthorn
Kingy says: “I struggle to see how the Dockers are favourites.
“If (Nat) Fyfe plays, I’ll take the -10.5, if he doesn’t, I’ll take the Hawks at +10.5.”
Pick: Fremantle line (-10.5) if Fyfe plays. Hawthorn line (+10.5) if Fyfe doesn’t play.
Extra pick: De Stoop has Hawthorn to win head to head.
All Kingy’s picks in a multi: $47
(Not including Adelaide v North and Freo v Hawks due to uncertainty).
