St. Kilda defence vs Essendon forward line
So far Essendon have kicked a goal 19.97% of the time it enters their forward 50, 17th in the AFL. St. Kilda's defence has been very impressive this season, conceding a goal 19.67% of the time it enters their defensive 50. Peter Wright is experiencing a small form slump, not kicking a goal in his last 3 games and will be directly opposed to Dougal Howard
, who has had a very good year so far. Josh Battle
probably goes to Harrison Jones, who has been good since returning from injury and will be a tough challenge for the young forward, whilst Callum Wilkie
will get the challenge of Jake Stringer
, the dynamic medium returning from a couple of hamstring injuries last week.
Midfield/rucks battle
In terms of contested possession difference, the Saints are 4th in the AFL, whilst Essendon are 15th. Clearances are a lot closer, the Saints 10th to Essendon's 13th, but there's a clear difference between the sides in the midfield. Brad Crouch
has really stepped up since captain Jack Steele
went down, and the inclusion of Hunter Clark
will be very important for the Saints to get the ball out, whilst Essendon will be hoping the form of Dylan Shiel
from last game will keep on, with youngsters Ben Hobbs and Archie Perkins have started to get a lot more midfield time this week. On the outside, Brad Hill and Jack Billings
will be strong here, whilst Essendon will be hoping that Sam Durham can get his production higher alongside the impressive Nic Martin. Rucks wise, former Bomber Paddy Ryder and Rowan Marshall
is one of the best combinations in the AFL whilst Essendon man Sam Draper has shown an uptick in form recently.
St. Kilda forward line vs Essendon defence
St. Kilda have kicked a goal 24.37% of the time it enters their forward 50, currently 5th in the AFL. Essendon's defence has been very leaky, conceding a goal 25.53% of the time it enters defensive 50, which is 17th in the AFL currently. Young tall Zach Reid has impressed since coming in, and will get the challenge of Max King
, currently 3rd in the Coleman Medal, probably his toughest assignment this year. Brandon Zerk-Thatcher
could get another chance against the resting ruck of either Rowan Marshall
or former don Paddy Ryder, which should release Jayden Laverde
to play on medium forward Tim Membrey
.
X-Factor Player
The nephew of Essendon legend Gavin and cousin of current bomber Tex Wanganeen, Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera was drafted in the first round last year, and has impressed with his speed and skilled this year.
Key stat
St. Kilda: Goals/inside 50 conceded. They have one of the best defences in the league, absolutely vital they keep that going to get the win.
Essendon: Clearances. Essendon have been slowly improving in this, they need another big game in this to have a chance.
Tip
Can't see it happening, St. Kilda by 22

Midfield/rucks battle
In terms of contested possession difference, the Saints are 4th in the AFL, whilst Essendon are 15th. Clearances are a lot closer, the Saints 10th to Essendon's 13th, but there's a clear difference between the sides in the midfield. Brad Crouch

St. Kilda forward line vs Essendon defence
St. Kilda have kicked a goal 24.37% of the time it enters their forward 50, currently 5th in the AFL. Essendon's defence has been very leaky, conceding a goal 25.53% of the time it enters defensive 50, which is 17th in the AFL currently. Young tall Zach Reid has impressed since coming in, and will get the challenge of Max King

X-Factor Player
The nephew of Essendon legend Gavin and cousin of current bomber Tex Wanganeen, Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera was drafted in the first round last year, and has impressed with his speed and skilled this year.
Key stat
St. Kilda: Goals/inside 50 conceded. They have one of the best defences in the league, absolutely vital they keep that going to get the win.
Essendon: Clearances. Essendon have been slowly improving in this, they need another big game in this to have a chance.
Tip
Can't see it happening, St. Kilda by 22
