St Kilda Saints vs West Coast Eagles Preview
The Saints face a must-win game on Saturday when they square off against a West Coast side looking to make a push for the top four.
Now with their backs against the wall following a pair of ugly losses to Melbourne and Essendon, the Saints must dig deep to overcome their growing injury list if they wish to play finals for the second year in a row.
West Coast, meanwhile, is simply looking to build on last week’s 37-point thumping at home over Port Adelaide.
A four-goal bag from Josh Kennedy help the Eagles put Round 2’s heartbreak against the Bulldogs behind them, while Andrew Gaff and Jack Redden both chipped in with 30 disposals each.
Although the Saints can blame injuries for their troubles, it’s obvious St Kilda’s basic skills haven’t been up to scratch.
Sloppy turnovers and kicking have become a major problem for Brett Ratten’s side, two areas West Coast will look to capitalise on this week.
On one hand, the Eagles are always a risky bet when they play away from home, but on the other, the trends do favour West Coast heavily to get the job done.
Adam Simpson’s side has played to a perfect 4-0 record as the away favourite against the Saints, and based on everything we’ve seen from St Kilda over the last two weeks, it’s hard to argue against West Coast adding to that number.
