St Kilda Saints vs Sydney Swans Preview
Coming off an emphatic win over Port at Adelaide Oval, the dead-eye-dick Saints who kicked 12-1 (73) including five unanswered in the last quarter will be out to really stamp their place in the eight against the Swans at the Gabba this Saturday.
St Kilda is currently sitting in fourth place and has been one of the most exciting teams to watch this season.
Brad Hill, Zak Jones along with Jack Steele and Dan Butler have been outstanding for the Saints.
Sydney goes into this game coming off a gusty win over Hawthorn.
Four sausage rolls from Tom Papley along with Jake Lloyd and Dane Rampe suffering a case of leather poisoning (59 disposals) played a huge roll in snapping the Swans four-game losing streak.
St Kilda has not beaten the Swans since 2012, but they will easily snap their 10 game losing streak against John Longmire and his men this Saturday.
