St Kilda face an "audit" against the hottest team in the AFL when they play Fremantle, and coach Ross Lyon is bullish about his side's bottom line.
The Dockers have won nine straight, equalling the club record that was set in 2006, and also when Lyon was coaching them in 2015.
St Kilda are mid-table with a 5-5 record, but all their wins have been against teams currently below them on the ladder. Beating the Dockers would be a massive scalp.
But they will have to do it without forward Jack Higgins, ruled out with a knee injury. It's another addition to their injury list that also features Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera, Max King, Liam Ryan and Mitch Owens.
St Kilda's new-look ruck duo of Tom De Koning and Rowan Marshall will come up against Luke Jackson, who is the latest unicorn in the AFL, according to Lyon, for his variety of skills.
