Show Preview
Two teams needing to bounce back from disappointing clashes, the St Kilda Saints host the Essendon Bombers at The Gabba. Join The Roar from live scores from 3:35pm (AEST).
There is not much more frustrating in footy than a draw. Particularly not a draw in a game you desperately needed to secure all four points in after a rough patch, but the Bombers experienced just that in a hotly contested clash with the Suns last week. The Dons have won just one of their past five clashes – an unconvincing win over Adelaide – but have shown plenty of bright form in clashes against the Suns and Giants in the past fortnight.
St Kilda have been a vastly better side this season. Winning four of their last five outings, including wins over Port and the Suns, they lowered their colours with a thrashing at the hands of the Cats last Monday. Brett Ratten’s team would be fuming at that loss – which saw them fall out of the top four – and will be heading into today’s match knowing they need a win to get back in.
The last few games between these two sides have tended to be been foregone conclusions Essendon’s way, with the Bombers comfortably winning the two of the last three (though the Saints snuck an early 2019 upset win).
John Worsfold’s wide haven’t visited Brisbane yet this year. The Saints won against Sydney at this ground earlier this month in their only clash here so far.
Opening bounce: 3:35pm (AEST)
