Preview:
Somehow the Crows still find themselves in the eight despite losing four of their last five games.
Adelaide, like a handful of others, fell victim to Carlton away from home last week losing by 27-points.
The Crows now find themselves tied on points with the ninth-place Bulldogs, and as if one upset wasn’t enough, Don Pyke’s side might be in for another as they square off against the lively Saints this weekend.
St. Kilda is the latest team to benefit from a coaching change as the Saints have now won two on the trot.
Caretaker Brett Ratten has instilled some confidence back into the side after four straight losses prior to Alan Richardson’s sacking, and if you take a look at the schedule, St. Kilda’s easy run home makes them a serious chance for the eight.
The Crows belted the Saints by 29-points when they met back in Round 6 as Taylor Walker enjoyed a huge four-goal bag.
Fortunately for St. Kilda, Tex continues to be hot and cold in front of the sticks, which matches the Crows ball movement and general play of late.
The Saints present tremendous value on the road, and although they haven’t beaten the Crows in Adelaide since 2009, it’s worth riding these post-coach-firing hot streaks as long as you can.
