Game Chat – St Kilda vs Port Adelaide

Written by Thommo on July 17 2021

Where and When: Marvel Stadium, Saturday 17th July at 1:45pm (AEST)

Last time they met: Rd 6, 2021: Port Adelaide 14.9 (93) def St Kilda 5.9 (39) at Adelaide Oval

Last 5 H2H: Port Adelaide 4 – St Kilda 1

Thommo Watch:

St Kilda: #ManOfSteele is simply that and Luke Dunstan is enjoying a late, late break-out. Marshall is probably starting to receive some attention after he has played a few games without injury.

Port Adelaide: Ollie Wines is probably Port’s best but he isn’t an elite Supercoach scorer.

Match Preview: Alright Saints, you have our attention. Defeating Richmond was good but defeating Brisbane was better and it makes St Kilda a legitimate chance of sneaking into finals. And Port have proven themselves no world beaters in 2021. They are defeating weak sides but struggling with the elite sides and the way the Saint’s midfield is playing, Port may find it difficult to get their hands on the ball. That said, the Power needs to win this to remain in the hunt for a top 4 spot so they will throw everything they have at the Saints.

I sense a small upset as the Saints continue their march to September.

Thommo’s Tip: Saints by 12 points. (Tipping record: 27.5/48)

  3. Gee, thinking of whether to trade or hold Langford. Now just have to wait until news comes through on Dusty and his Kidney damage. Didn’t that keep Whit out for ages?

  4. Steele and Marshall for me today.
    Bought Marshall in this morning.
    Have flirted with the VC on Steele but gone MacRae into Grundy . Still time to change!

    1. Shocking news…we all love him. Even us bombers supporters.

      Now just need Bramble to go well so Cripps can stay and I trade Dusty out next week instead.
