St Kilda Saints vs Fremantle Dockers Preview
There were plenty of punters and pundits that were willing to write off the chances of St Kilda after they lost their third game in a row against Essendon in round 15.
In a season where the competition is so close, this was always going to be a silly proposition and one win against another top 10 opponent can really swing things back in your favour.
The Saints were excellent when defeating Carlton on Friday night and they get another opportunity to put themselves right back in the finals mix against Fremantle this weekend.
The Dockers are one game clear of Carlton in fourth position and this looms as an important game to keep their double chance alive.
They were tested against Port Adelaide at home but ultimately prevailed and they have won their last 10 straight games on a six-day turnaround.
Scoring against the Dockers has seemingly become much easier in recent times but they can shut out a Saints team who do not pose as many avenues to goal as many others in the competition.
