Adelaide Crows vs St Kilda Saints Preview
The Crows remain in Adelaide looking to bounce back from last week’s 36-point belting against Brisbane.
Adelaide played a strong first quarter before being over-run by the Lions’ dominant forward line, a worrying sign heading into this week’s clash against a St Kilda side flying high.
The Saints recorded what could be a season-defining win last week over Geelong, a result that largely boiled down to an impressive “championship quarter” in the third term led by Paddy Ryder.
Head-to-head, the Crows have actually fared better with four wins from their last five games against the Saints, but this still looks a big challenge for Matthew Nicks’ side based on the numbers.
Not only do the Saints average more scoring shots and more marks inside 50s than the Crows, but they’ve also been one of the toughest teams to score against through the first nine rounds.
Typically, this is the kind of game the St Kilda of old would lose. But with a chance to further prove themselves as legit finals contenders, the Saints should find a way to get it done.
