5. Strengths and Weaknesses

There's no doubt the Saints' strength lies in their speedy small forwards, they kill teams out the back and are as dangerous as any team (maybe bar Richmond) when the ball hits the ground.

Their weakness maybe comes from their lack of defensively minded midfielders. Jack Steele is perhaps their most defensive on-baller but he still commits to attack heavily when the Saints have the ball.

They can get hurt on turnover with a midfield so keen to get involved, Brad Crouch isn't exactly going to help that either. They'll have to find a balance to make the leap to top 4.
