Ross Lyon’s Saints are fighting to stay in touch with the eight as they take on the Power in Adelaide tonight.
What’s at stake: St Kilda are the team on the edge here. If Ross Lyon’s lads go down to the Power tonight, which the odds suggest they will, they sink to 2-5 for the season and begin to lose sight of the eight. The Power have a bit more wriggle room. Heading into tonight they are 4-2. But they will be keen to bounce back after an ordinary three quarters last week against Collingwood.
We gave them a few days off, so they are pretty vibrant,” Ross Lyon on how the Saints responded to last week’s loss to the Western Bulldogs.“Everyone hears this word around contest, and contested possession, and ground ball, and we all automatically zoom in on the midfield. If you look at the game really closely, you’ll find it is the whole ground. It’s not just one particular area,” Ken Hinkley on Port Adelaide losing the contested ball count against top four sides.
