Preview:
AFTER receiving a scare from lowly-ranked Melbourne last weekend Port Adelaide surely won’t enter this match underrating an underperforming St Kilda outfit. The Saints were slaughtered by Collingwood last Friday, but would hope to benefit from inside knowledge on Saturday with former Power director of coaching Alan Richardson at the helm. Even with some unique game plan insight, St Kilda would need to work a miracle to knock the competition’s number one team off on its home turf. Then again, if a football miracle were ever to occur, the City of Churches would be the ideal place for the Saints to benefit.
