[TD valign="top"] Preview [/TD][TD valign="top"] The Saints come into this Round 9 clash on a three game losing streak and sitting 14th on the ladder at the halfway mark of the season, having been outgunned by the Suns in Round 8 at home. After being demolished early in the season at home by a rampant Dockers outfit, they've struggled to recover since, and find themselves just 1 game shy of the bottom searching for a win to arrest their slide. A win this week against the Dees could mathematically see them squeeze back into the eight. [/TD][TD valign="top"] The Dees have also found the going tough in 2020, as they sit just one spot above the Saints on the ladder at 3-5 and needing a win to steady the ship. Having also been pantsed at home by a powerful Fremantle side, the Dees are just as desperate for a win as the Saints, having lost 4 of their last 5 games heading into this must win clash. They'll be looking to bounce back this week away under the roof at Marvel and would fancy their chances against a Saints side down on their luck. [/TD]

[TD valign="top"] Key matchup [/TD][TD valign="top"] Bradley Hill v Christian Petracca
The outside gun versus the inside bull, both star midfielders are crucial to their side's attack and game style. With Hill sitting #4 int he competition for handballs, and Petracca at #3 for kicks, whoever gets the most pill from these two will go along way to giving their team the advantage.[/TD]
