Saints enjoy another rare Adelaide win
ST Kilda waited six years to taste victory at Adelaide Oval. The Saints now have two victories there in less than a week.
For the first time since 2016, and just for the second time in a decade, the Saints have defeated the top-of-the-ladder team – this time Port Adelaide – prevailing 12.1 (73) to 6.8 (44).
With 11 goals and no behinds after halftime the Saints showed they will be in the mix for finals, as they entered the top four with a massive scalp as they ended a run of eightstraight losses to the Power.
As with their win over the Crows on Monday night, the Saints had to survive a thirdquarter onslaught when the Power had nine forward 50 entries in a row, but Port could not impact the scoreboard.
Dean Kent then hit the Power with a big sucker punch and then three straight Saints goals to open the fourth had St Kilda marching on.
