From the Hun.
"The Saints’ full list looks impressive, but the continual stream of injuries may well deplete the team in its early days.
Ross Lyon has always thrived on big key forwards. Strikers win games. He knows it will take
a big forward to get the Saints up the ladder, and therefore will be sweating on Max King’s
return from shoulder surgery, and hoping for a highly competitive Rowan Marshall.
As an entirety, St Kilda has all the potential if only it could get its whole act together as
opposed to piecemeal on a year-to-year basis.
This puts Hawthorn and Essendon ahead of the Saints, with a clear path forward.
Sunday’s games won’t represent the clubs for their past or their future, but Essendon, Hawthorn and St Kilda could all make a statement for 2023 today.
The Saints at home, even with injuries, are a chance against Fremantle.
I have little expectation of any of these three clubs challenging for the final eight, this year. But the future is bright for the club that can provide all the ingredients, plus the time to cook with them. A delicacy indeed."
