Adelaide Crows vs St Kilda Saints Preview

Losing Izak Rankine for four weeks probably wasn’t on the top of the Crows bucketlist last week, and it’s a big loss heading back home to face the Saints.

Beating the top team would have given the Saints a world of confidence heading into this clash, and unsurprisingly, it’s amazing what offensive football can do for results.

The Crows most recent performance at the Adelaide Oval was convincing from start to finish against the Giants, and they seemed to find that hometown swagger they lost.

St Kilda make their second trip over to Adelaide for the season, their first, a 10-point loss to Port, which was pretty reflective of how close they were most of the game.

Fast breaks in transition is how both teams should aim to play, and with nothing to lose, there’s no reason this shouldn’t be high-scoring and adventurous.

The Saints were broken down by Sydney’s spread and speed out of defensive 50 but were able to hurt the Swans by lowering their eyes and changing angles.

At home the Crows play a big metres gained, territory type game style that hurts you quite quickly if the opposition isn’t willing to run in defence.

The Crows should get up in this one with the home-ground advantage, but this could be quite close.
