Preview:

St. Kilda’s fast start to the season has come to a screeching halt thanks to a pair of blowout losses.

The Saints were on the wrong end of a 44-point thumping last week, this time at the hands of the Giants. Alan Richardson’s side failed to show up in Canberra as they found themselves in a six-goal hole at quarter time, leaving St. Kilda with four wins, three losses and plenty of questions to answer.

Things aren’t going any better for West Coast, mind you. Last week’s scare against the Suns has the reigning premiers still searching for a spot in the eight, and considering they’ve won only once on the road this year, who knows what to expect from the Eagles on Saturday night.

The good news is West Coast do tend to save their best performances for Melbourne, and more importantly, St. Kilda. The Eagles have won four of their last five games over the Saints, including last year’s 19-point victory at home.

The odds favour Adam Simpson’s side this week, but it’s St. Kilda who warrant your money. The Saints rank fifth in clearances so far this year, compared to West Coast, who rank dead last in inside 50’s.

Win the ball in the middle and St. Kilda should go a long way towards earning the points. The Saints are 2-1 as the line underdog against West Coast, so take full advantage of some generous odds.
