In the past 5 matches the Head to Head is St Kilda 4 and Collingwood 1. The last time the teams met was in Rd14 when Collingwood defeated St Kilda by 9 points where the game will be remembered for the disgraceful umpiring in the 3rd quarter and Dale Thomas's goal of the year that never was.
Collingwood has lost its last 3 games at the Telstra Dome and hasnt played there this season.
The key men for this game are Lenny Hayes who averages 22 touches and 4 clearances in his last 7 games against Collingwood and Heath Shaw who has hit over 20 touches in his last 3 games against the Saints.
St Kilda will be missing Riewoldt, Baker, Hudghton, Maguire, X Clarke and possibly Dal Santo with the Pies losing Fraser but regaining Rocca.
Collingwood should get up by at least 18pts, if they cant beat a injury ravelled Saints outfit then they dont deserve to play finals this year.
