St Kilda vs Essendon
Friday, Etihad Stadium 7:50pm, AEST
St Kilda are well placed to build on their thumping victory over Richmond when they face an Essendon side whose form can be best described as patchy.
St Kilda are quietly going about their business, having won four games on the trot. A win will go a long way to securing a finals spot for this young Saints side, butย the there is plenty on the line for the Bombers, who risk missing finals entirely if they fail to win on Friday night.
This match will have significant implications for the make up of the ladder at the end of the season. Both teams are firmly in the mix for their first taste of September action in a few years. With the performance the Saints put up last week, it's hard to look past them.
Tip: St Kilda by 17
