St Kilda Saints vs Carlton Blues Preview

St Kilda and Carlton will face off at the MCG on Friday night for Spud’s Game, both looking to reignite their seasons. The Saints come into the match on the back of a stunning 94-33 victory over Fremantle, snapping a three-match losing streak. Jack Macrae was instrumental in that win, recording 38 disposals, 14 clearances, and 10 score involvements. Carlton, after three consecutive wins, were brought back down to earth with a 110-50 loss to Adelaide, marking just their third defeat by more than 10 goals since 2019. The Blues will be keen to bounce back, but they’ll need to find their scoring touch once again. Last season’s encounter was a nail-biter, with St Kilda edging out Carlton 76-74 in a thrilling contest. Both teams will be hungry for a win as they push for a spot in the top eight.
