St Kilda Saints vs Fremantle Dockers Preview
The Saints have hit rock bottom quite early, which could be a good thing as theyre not incapable of turning their season around, although its a long shot from here.
The Dockers let themselves down with poor kicking, which put the game to bed at halftime against the Swans, and theyll be out to prove their form hasnt died off again.
St Kildas execution in transition isnt impactful to generate scoring opportunities and they sit bottom six for inside 50s per game, and bottom four for scoring efficiency, which isnt a good mix.
The Dockers struggled to shut down the Swans speed and directional switch-ups in transition, which gave them clear looks at goal that placed pressure on the Dockers risk taking early.
St Kilda does have an advantage in the tackling game, and their pressure is quite consistent, especially between the archs.
Defensive pressure in the forward half is key for the Saints, who too often let the ball get out easily and are constantly chasing in transition.
The Dockers struggle with their contested game, but if they can get their running and uncontested game going in transition, the Saints suffer too many breakdowns per game to kick a winning score.
