St Kilda Saints vs Hawthorn Hawks Preview
St Kilda is no good, are they?
A 54-point loss to Port last week and an 86-point loss to the Tigers the week before, there’s plenty of concern ahead of a team that made it to a semi-final last year.
How the Saints are listed as $1.58 favorites in the betting is beyond me.
There is way more to like about Hawthorn’s prospects going into this game than St Kilda.
The Hawks pulled off an epic come-from-behind win over the Crows in what will easily go down as one of the games of the season.
Jacob Koschitzke kicking five goals in just his fifth game and Jaeger O’Meara’s dominance in the midfield played such a vital role in their 32-point comeback.
For a young team, Clarko knows what he’s doing and Hawthorn has just about been in every game this season. You can’t say the same for St.Kilda
Hawks to get it done.
