St Kilda Saints vs Gold Coast SUNS Preview
St Kilda closes its season with a chance to reward supporters after beating Richmond 94-45, although results elsewhere ended its Wildcard hopes. Max Hall produced a career-high 40 disposals in that win, Bradley Hill collected 41 and Mitch Owens kicked five goals, giving the Saints several strong avenues through the middle and forward of centre. Liam Ryan returns for the injured Jack Higgins, while Dougal Howard is also back. Gold Coast arrives after a 95-53 loss to Brisbane and has dropped 11 of its past 12 matches. The Suns won the Round 9 meeting 89-60, but Christian Petracca, Will Powell and Sam Collins are unavailable this time. St Kilda’s recent pressure and Gold Coast’s depleted side give the hosts the stronger platform at Marvel Stadium.
