    AFL R21 preview: Comeback Saints in Roos' sights

    The Kangaroos could be bolstered by some returning senior stars ahead of Sunday's match against St Kilda

    Stopping Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera will be among North Melbourne's top priorities as the Kangaroos return to Marvel Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

    The explosive Saint was the match-winner in St Kilda's record comeback win over Melbourne last weekend.

    The Kangaroos could be bolstered by some returning senior stars, and will be focused on bouncing back fast after a 101-point defeat to Geelong in Round 20. 

    Round 21, St Kilda v North Melbourne 
    Where: Marvel Stadium, Melbourne, VIC
    When: Sunday, August 3 at 1.40pm AEST 
    How to watch: Foxtel, Kayo Sports

    The opposition

    Having pushed Geelong hard the previous weekend, the 14th-placed Saints underlined in Round 20 that they don't know when they are beaten.

    The Saints trailed by 46 points at three-quarter time against Melbourne at Marvel Stadium. It was a margin that had never previously been overhauled in the last quarter, but Ross Lyon's men wrote history, coming from the clouds to defeat the Demons by six points.

    Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera was the hero, shrugging off the attentions of two Demon defenders to take a screamer with less than a minute left on the clock to level the scores, then kicking the winner after the siren.

    Dynamo Max Hall (19 disposals, six clearances) was among the Saints' best, along with the experienced Jack Sinclair. 

    What the coach has said

    North Melbourne senior coach Alastair Clarkson on Thursday: "The spirit of the group is strong. We know we were well below our best, and we played a pretty polished outfit last week. We don't want to take any credit away from them at all but we just made simple mistakes with the footy. Kicking errors, handball errors, marking errors that just gave them the ball."

    On Wanganeen-Milera: "He was always a very good player but his last six or eight weeks since he (moved) into the midfield, my goodness. He's a special player and we'll look at what we do (to counter him)."

    09:02

    Last time we met

    Six goals either side of quarter-time set St Kilda on track for a 38-point win at Marvel Stadium in Round 8 last season.

    The Roos started well, kicking three straight goals in the first quarter to carve out an early lead, but the Saints soon wrested control against the young Kangas.

    Sinclair (two goals, 33 touches), Marcus Windhager (25 touches) and the dangerous Wanganeen-Milera were among the Saints' match-winners. 

    Young guns George Wardlaw, Colby McKercher and Harry Sheezel led the way for the Kangaroos, while Tristan Xerri was influential in the ruck, winning 40 hitouts.

    AFL R21 match report: Surging Roos fall just short

    A late surge from North Melbourne has seen it just fall short of St Kilda, losing by nine points at Marvel Stadium on Sunday afternoon

    St Kilda has held off a fast-finishing North Melbourne to win by nine points in a thriller at Marvel Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

    A week after the Saints roared home to secure a record-breaking comeback win over Melbourne, the Roos almost flipped that script on them as they reeled in a 23-point three-quarter time deficit to trail by less than a kick with under a minute to go.

    An after-the-siren goal to Max Hall stretched the margin out as the Saints recorded the 11.12 (78) to 10.9 (69) victory.

    03:36

    St Kilda's second consecutive win came at a cost, with Mitch Owens suffering a hamstring injury in the third quarter that looks certain to end his season with just three games remaining.

    He was replaced by skipper Jack Steele, who was a surprise substitute - just the fourth captain ever to start as sub.

    North's sixth straight defeat was made worse by Paul Curtis' report for striking Angus Hastie in the throat on the quarter-time siren.

    On his return from a right knee injury, Nick Larkey kicked three goals but appeared to re-injure himself when he marked on the lead in the final term.

    08:04

    Saints Hunter Clark (25 touches) and Jack Sinclair (26) were also busy, while Jack Higgins and Max Heath kicked two goals apiece.

    North star Harry Sheezel (33 disposals) was typically prolific along with Colby McKercher (36).

    Larkey kicked a goal on the quarter-time siren to send North out to a 14-point advantage, then delivered a 19-point lead early in the second term.

    But the Saints reeled off the next three goals to take a one-point lead into half-time.

    SAINTS v KANGAROOS Full match coverage and stats

    Kangaroo Zac Banch (ribs) was substituted at the main break while Owens made way in the third term.

    The Saints kicked four consecutive goals to lead by 23 at three-quarter time and North couldn't complete the comeback.

    St Kilda next plays Richmond at the MCG on Saturday while North travels to face Greater Western Sydney in Canberra on Sunday.

    Nervous wait for Roo on report
    North forward Paul Curtis could be facing his second ban of the season after being reported for an off-the-ball strike on Saint Angus Hastie. There was a bit of niggle between the pair as Roo Nick Larkey lined up for goal on the quarter-time siren, before Curtis took a swing and collected Hastie in the throat. The 19-year-old took some time to recover from the blow, spending the opening five minutes of play in the second term on the bench. It would be the second ban for Curtis this season after he served a three-game suspension for a dangerous tackle that concussed Port Adelaide's Josh Sinn in Round 7. Meanwhile, fellow Roo Cam Zurhaar could also come under scrutiny after he jumped off the ground to bump Saints ruck Rowan Marshall. Luckily for Zurhaar, he didn't collect the Saints ruck high despite the dangerous manoeuvre and Marshall was able to play out the game.
