Preview:
South East Melbourne still sits seventh on the ladder behind a 9-11 record, and with only eight games remaining, it’s safe to say time is quickly running out.
The Phoenix looked good last week in a much-needed win over the Hawks, but considering the Wildcats also handed the cellar dwellers a loss in Round 15, it’s difficult to back any kind of upset in this one.
These two sides have met twice this year with Perth winning by double-digits on both occasions. The battle between Bryce Cotton and Mitch Creek should be a fascinating one, however it is worth keeping in mind that the Phoenix have won only three of their nine games on the road this season.
Tip: Perth Wildcats at $1.34
