Summary: The two sides were impressive in round one, but lost badly last weekend and suffered injuries as well. Following Matt Maguire's stress fracture, fellow Saints key defender Max Hudghton is also out with a quad strain. The Bulldogs will be without boom recruit Jason Akermanis (hamstring). St Kilda regain co-captain Nick Riewoldt from his pre-season injury woes and the Bulldogs recall full-back Brian Harris from suspension. Overall, the 'Dogs look a better side at the moment, but it depends how they rebound from the Crows loss - the 38-point margin was very flattering. Key Saints key forward Fraser Gehrig starred in round one, but he was starved of supply against Brisbane and never really exerted his considerable influence on the game. His double act with Riewoldt is one of the best key-forward setups in the AFL.
