FULL TIME
St Kilda has thumped Carlton to the tune of 64 points.
The Saints booted 12 goals to four after quarter time to send the Blues (1-15) deeper into crisis.
Matthew Lloyd said Blues fans have every right to be disappointed.
“St Kilda should have won by more,” Lloydy said.
“You want to at least leave the footy with something to cheer about, something to be excited about.”
“There’s nothing tonight.”
Dwayne: “Carlton is the 19th-best team in the comp right now. Daylight is 18th.” #AFLSaintsBlues

LATE CHANGE
St Kilda has been dealt a big blow, with Seb Ross (illness) withdrawing before the bounce.
Bailey Rice has come in.
Carlton will line up as selected.

THE BUILD-UP
On face value, this one might not look like a Friday night classic.
But with the Saints hitting some form, and the Blues looking to bounce back from last week’s humiliation, it will definitely be a fierce contest.
Hopefully it will stay close on the scoreboard, too.
Can the Blues restore some pride? Or will the Saints make it three from four?
