Brisbane Lions vs St Kilda Saints Preview
Like Carlton, back-to-back wins has kept St Kilda’s season alive — but only just. Victories over Richmond and Collingwood has seen them shorten from $26 into $7 in Palmerbet’s Top 8 market. But similarly to the Blues, they face a premiership contender this week in a clash that will serve as an audit of where they are actually at. Despite claiming four points from the Pies, the Saints’ dismal second half was perhaps the best indicator they simply mightn’t be up to it in 2021. Nevertheless they’re alive, and an upset here could propel them inside the Top 8, however fleeting that might be.
By contrast, there’s few worries at the Lions who are tracking well in their bid for a first flag since 2003. Ten wins in their last 11 games (each by an average of 43.2 points) underlines their dominance after a shaky start. Brownlow Medalist Lachie Neale should return.
