St Kilda Saints vs Sydney Swans Preview
If you’re a Saints fan, here’s hoping that they can go from last week’s shame game and give us something in the annual pride game, putting that performance against Carlton behind them.
St Kilda had a great chance to make it into the eight and they blew it.
Sydney fought out a thrilling win over Essendon last week, with the game moved to the MCG from the Gabba on such short notice as yet again COVID reeked chaos on the fixture.
It turned out to be one of the games of the year with the Swans registering a 7-point win in a high-scoring thriller.
For the rest of the season, all previews involving Sydney will focus on Buddy Franklin as he gets ever so close to 1000 career goals.
Buddy kicked two last week and is currently on 985.
If he is able to reach 1000 goals in 2021, one can only hope it’s in a match that has fans in the stands rather than an empty Marvel Stadium.
Let’s back in Buddy for 3+ this Saturday night and see his career tally get to at least 988, moving 12 away from the magic 1000 mark.
