Twice these sides have met this season and the ledger is squared, but the battle for now is to keep their double chance alive and maintain a clear route to this year\u2019s grand final.<\/p>\n
Nightcliff suffocated St Mary\u2019s in their first meeting leaving some doubt on the competition\u2019s most successful club\u2019s credentials for this campaign, particularly with spearhead Jackson Calder injured.<\/p>\n
But that loss inspired something in the Green Machine and they\u2019ve since gone unbeaten, including defeating the Tigers on their return visit in a fourth quarter surge.<\/p>\n
That match was won by some late Jack Landt goals from unlikely angles and a coming-of-age performance for small forward Xavier Vallejo.<\/p>\n
Skipper Dylan Landt is the form midfielder in the competition, aided by a potent group including Connor West, Jackson Braunthal and Josh Smithson that will want to take the run to double digits.<\/p>\n
Nightcliff, meanwhile, had to fight their way into a double chance position in the final round beating PINT, who have been the big improvers of this season.<\/p>\n
The Tigers are a side that usually match well against Saints with a defensive style that can limit the forward pressure their foes like to bring.<\/p>\n
Ryan Nyhuis is the general down back while their midfield group led by captain and three-time Nichols Medal winner Brodie Filo is as good as anyone\u2019s.<\/p>\n
Mitchell Trewhella is perhaps one of the signings of the season winning the club best and fairest while Riley Baldi and Brandan Parfitt are known dangers going forward.<\/p>\n
