Match Preview

Magpies v St Kilda
This is almost an early season elimination final for these two clubs, who currently sit in ninth and
tenth positions and only out of the eight on percentage. Both teams have four wins and four losses and
both are coming off defeats to Western Australian clubs last week. It shapes as a genuine eight point
game.
