The Saints need to find a way to score. No, that\u2019s not the first time we\u2019ve made such a call in a Ross Lyon game.<\/p>\n
The leading possession winners so far suggest the game is being played between defences \u2013 for Hawthorn, James Sicily has had 11 disposals off half-back, while Jack Sinclair has been almost as dominant at the opposite end of the ground for the Saints with 10 possessions.<\/p>\n
But the big difference has been Jack Gunston.<\/p>\n
He was too clever early for Callum Wilkie, finding space to nail two goals, and then kicking a third 30 seconds into the second quarter.<\/p>\n
St Kilda\u2019s defenders were able to absorb a lot of defensive heat in the opening quarter because Hawthorn had a lot more of the ball, leading the inside-50 count 15 to 10.<\/p>\n
But the Saints need to find deeper forward entries so they can land their first goal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Saints need to find a way to score.
