St Kilda Saints vs Gold Coast Suns Preview
The Saints and the Suns were arguably the two biggest storylines to emerge from Round 3 with both pulling off potentially season-defining wins.
St Kilda celebrated its 150th anniversary in fine style downing the Dons, while the Gold Coast sent reigning premier Geelong to 0-3 thanks to a massive fourth-quarter performance that we often haven’t seen from Stuart Dew’s men.
The Saints have hardly reinvented the wheel, but the fact they rank top five in handballs, disposals, and marks whilst also allowing the fewest points to opponents is truly a reflection of Ross Lyon’s coaching.
The Suns also looked much-improved last week up forward with Jack Lukosius proving he is capable of taking over a game with a five-goal haul.
Gold Coast also dominated Geelong 39-23 at the clearances and smashed them in contested footy – two key areas that they’ll need to win this week against a stingy St Kilda side.
As fans know well, these two sides have played out some classic in recent years – the Saints winning seven in a row dating back to 2018 with only two of those victories coming by 20 points or more.
A win over the Cats should do wonders for the Suns’ confidence, but it’s hard to ignore some of their hot and cold scoring streaks that quite frankly, date right back to last season.
