Sydney Swans vs St Kilda Saints Preview
St Kilda bounced back from their 111 point loss to the Western Bulldogs in Round 10 with a 20 point win over North Melbourne at the weekend, however they were far from convincing.
Their disposal efficiency of 70.1 was below their season average of 71.7% and they lost the possession count, clearances and uncontested possessions against a rebuilding team that has been well below par in season 2021.
Also responding to a disappointing loss the week before, the Sydney Swans were challenged by Carlton early but ultimately responded to win by 22 points at the final siren on Sunday.
Isaac Heeney was superb for the red and white with 22 disposals and three goals and Callum Mills continues to thrive as a midfielder gathering 25 touches and laying seven tackles.
The Swans have been the surprise packets so far this season and currently sit in sixth position.
I’ll back them to get the job done here against a very inconsistent St Kilda team.
