St Kilda Saints vs Sydney Swans Preview
The Saints let another close one get away from them, and the miserable tale of their season continues, up against an opponent looking to make their season worse.
It was the second blemish for the Swans all year, and crazily theyve only lost their two games by a combined margin of six points.
The Dockers showed the blueprint of how to take down the Swannies, flood the backline on turnover, and be prepared to run when the Swans turn it over.
St Kilda can certainly do half of that effectively, run and gun in transition off turnover with their quick half-back stock.
Although its hard to see their defence holding up against Sydneys fast midfield that get quick and zippy entries inside 50.
When your ruck is your leading goalkicker, it probably screams issues inside the four walls, but at least the Saints have Rowan Marshall for the time being.
That being said, a goalless Max King cant happen again if the Saints are to compete for a sustainable period in this clash.
St Kilda arent terrible, but there isnt a lot to harp on about, and the Swans will want to quickly erase any thought of last week.
