Show Preview
St Kilda will be aiming to take down premiership contenders Fremantle for the second time this season on Saturday night, in a bid to keep their finals hopes alive. Join The Roar for live scores and rolling coverage from 7:25pm (AEST).
The Saints surged back into finals contention after a horror three weeks with a stirring triumph over Carlton last week. However, they’ve been counting the cost since, with important defenders Dougal Howard (knee) and Hunter Clark (nose) both forced out for this match.
However, with star Saints pair Bradley Hill and Jack Sinclair dominating across half-back against the Blues, and Paddy Ryder in vintage touch in the ruck, Brett Ratten’s team will back themselves to the hilt to pull off another upset – especially having bested the Dockers over in Perth back in Round 2.
Since then, the Dockers have become one of the season’s biggest surprise packets, surging up the ladder to be well and truly in the flag hunt.
With a miserly defence, a star in Andrew Brayshaw dominating the midfield and an exciting forward line, the Dockers have stunned both top-two sides Geelong and Melbourne on their own turf, while also taking down Brisbane and splitting games with Carlton this year.
Much of the debate this week has focussed on Nat Fyfe’s role, and whether the skipper can move to a permanent forward position after an underwhelming return from injury in midfield. If he can make the switch, the Dockers might become even more potent.
