Ahhh St Kilda. What can you say about this club? Only do they come up in conversation when either discussing insolvent AFL clubs and teams Ross Lyon has driven into the ground. Such is level of masochism required to follow this club Saints members were laughing when mask wearing was made mandatory in Victoria due to the zip mouth leather versions they received in their membership packs now able to be worn in public. Jokes aside, they looked to be making serious in roads last year with Ratten at the helm, but have sadly fallen off the pace a bit so far this season after being cruelled by injuries. Though currently sitting 16th on the ladder, they should not be taken lightly and as history has shown, you only need to be 5% off your game and you can get rolled.
The Milestone:
This match will bring up the 200th AFL game for Brad Sheppard, criminally under-rated outside of West Coast but a beloved fan favourite for those who actually watch football. Congratulations to the great man and hopefully we can get him that flag he so richly deserves

Key match-ups:
Naitanui vs The Kitchen Sink:
Saints will need to throw everything they’ve got to curb NN on Saturday. Currently in unprecedented form let’s hope he can keep up the rampaging efforts against the entire Saints midfield.
Darling & Kennedy vs Carlysle & Howard
LoL really?
Barrass vs King
Tommy has started the year in ripping form, and considering the off-season he had personally it’s great to see him up and about and playing great footy. He’ll be matched up on one of the most promising young KPF’s in the league in King and will have his work cut out for him. If it’s anything like the GC match-up it should be a quality duel.
Tim Membrey vs Tony Galati
Despite Tony’s best efforts Membrey still manages to evade his harvesting attempts to be used as a promotional item for “World’s Largest Potato” at the Innaloo Spud Shed. Will likely still kick a couple of goals against us whilst fleeing from Tony’s abominable eyebrows.
Possible debut: Isiah Winder
Look, I’m not just saying this coz I’m his sponsor, but from the 3 minutes of draft highlights I’ve watched he looks like a hybrid of Chris Judd and Dustin Martin, but better. Kicked 5 goals in the WAFL last weekend and has been rewarded with a trip east to see how lucky he was not to get drafted by a Victorian club.
Verdict: All things going to plan, the Eagles should walk away from this with a respectable 4 goal win. Though not a certainty Saints are out of form and suffering many injuries and we should do the job and bank the 4 points. Regardless of the outcome I will be booing so loud from my loungeroom here in Perth that the pillars of Marvel will shake resulting in at least 8-9 free for.
West Coast by 26 points.
