Monday night football returns for another year as St Kilda once again clash with Carlton at Etihad Stadium. We’ll have live scores from 7.40pm AEST.
The AFL’s annual experiment with the timeslot is an opportunity for the Saints to register a desperately-needed win against a high-quality opponent.
However, the history books tell us that the Blues’ only two wins against St Kilda in the past 11 years have both come on recent Monday night games.
St Kilda have lost two out of their last three, with the win coming against Melbourne, so a big scalp could reinvigorate their season.
Last week it was the Hawks who emerged victorious, getting over the line by 35 points. The positives to come out of the game included Justin Koschitzke having five goals, Nick Riewoldt kicking three and Brendon Goddard getting 26 touches.
Ben McEvoy’s injury has been a cause for concern for the Saints, with Rhys Stanley forced to step into the No. 1 ruck role. How he can fair against Matthew Kreuzer will be a talking point.
Carlton have just one loss to their name and have won two on the trot.
They had the GWS Giants last week, and were forced to work hard to break free after being only 10 point up at half time. In the end, though, they cruised to a 67-point win.
Mitch Robinson and Marc Murphy led the way, although a more competitive effort across the board will be needed tonight.
The Blues get back some of the talent that was rested for last week’s game.
