Oh yes, let's talk about the tussle pitting our good friends the Port Adelaide Power against the ever tenacious St Kilda Saints. Now, history might tell you that Port Adelaide has a knack for turning the Saints into mere mortals, reminding me of how I pulled one over my physicist brother during Christmas Trivial Pursuit. Yes, his face was priceless.
However, the picture gets a bit muddled when you look at the recent performance of our saints. They're coming in hotter than a habanero pepper, tongues still on fire from their recent outstanding performances. Port Adelaide on the other hand, seem to be navigating the scene with the intensity of a daytime soap opera, quite a rollercoaster I must say.
Saints are currently riding a respectable 7th in the league, while Port Adelaide seem to be still looking for their reading glasses down at the 12th spot. But then again, in the present season, St Kilda raised their game slightly better, with a 2-1 record while Port Adelaide trail slightly with 1-2.
Oh, we are still on Round 4. It's like thinking you're an hour into a Russian novel only to realize it's a mere prologue - early days my friends, early days.
Anyway, navigating through this stormy sea of stats and numbers, I'm inclined to look a bit favorably upon the Saints. If my grandmother taught me anything, it's that when in doubt, err on the side of divine intervention. I mean, they are called Saints for Pete's sake.
So hold your groans and chuckles, for here's my prediction:
