Adelaide Crows vs St Kilda Saints Preview
Based on recent performances and circumstances, losing Izak Rankine for the Crows is a setback heading into their clash against the Saints at home. St Kilda, buoyed by their recent strong showing against the top team, will bring confidence into this match. The Crows’ convincing win over the Giants showed they can rediscover their hometown swagger at Adelaide Oval, which could pose a challenge for the Saints.
Both teams thrive on fast breaks and transition play, making this potentially high-scoring and adventurous. St Kilda needs to tighten up defensively after being exposed by Sydney’s speed, while Adelaide’s aggressive, territory-based game at home could exploit any defensive lapses.
Ultimately, the Crows have the advantage at home, but expect a closely contested match given both teams’ styles and recent performances.
