St Kilda Saints vs Port Adelaide Preview
Two sides who have faced similar downfalls in 2024, hurt by poor outings, a lack of competitiveness in key moments, and questioning who is moving the magnets.
It couldnt have gotten any worse for the Power who were embarrassed at home against the Lions, and whilst they surprisingly sit inside the eight, I think even they know theyre not meant to be there.
The Saints come into this clash $1.80 favourites, and their recent outing, also against the Power was a lot more respectable given their ability to offend with some impact compared to previous low-scoring outings.
If the Saints are to win, without a doubt that needs to be the approach again, forcing inside 50 entries that pepper the Powers defensive structure, which continues to be unaccountable.
When these two sides faced each other earlier in the year, the Power just possessed that extra bit of class in the midfield and got up by 10 points.
There needs to be a collective performance from the forward group to beat the Saints, as there has been a lack of cohesiveness in their moving patterns and ability to find reliable scorers.
Both teams will play with a bit of panic given the nature of their seasons, and turnovers will be the difference in a high-scoring Marvel turf in transition.
The Power needs to respond, but is there a cause worth responding for? They would probably sit on the fence, and with all the pressure on their shoulders, the Saints should swoop in and make things even worse.
