Port Adelaide vs St Kilda Saints Preview
Both sides have had a forgettable previous round, and both need desperate responses, arguably the Saints more than the Power.
The Saints were outworked by the Dogs in their first Marvel home game for the season, struggling to keep pace and find any efficiency with ball in hand.
The Power has continued to have the pretender label stuck to them, and a win against the Saints doesn’t help change that, but it’s a crucial win for their top-four hopes.
The Saints have lacked polish in the middle of the ground, and the task doesn’t get any easier against the Power’s centre stoppage weapons.
The Saints should see the return of Max King up forward but will lose some pace with Dan Butler’s injury.
Hugo Garcia has provided some real toughness and edge for the Saints, which is their key to taking the Power down, similar to Collingwood, elite pressure to force a turnover or contested footy.
The Power will need to capitalise on their midfield dominance and utilise the quick entries they’re accustomed to at the Adelaide Oval.
Class factor will reign supreme in this one for the Power, the Saints don’t get beaten easily, disregarding last week, but they still can’t close that gap on the top sides.
