St Kildas Dylan Roberton predicts a handful of his AFL sides defenders will be needed to curb the influence of Sydney superstar Lance Franklin. JJ Arcega-Whiteside Youth Jersey .The Saints will stay in the mix for finals on Saturday if they manage to upset the Swans at Etihad Stadium and North Melbourne lose to Hawthorn at the MCG.Shutting down the influence of Franklin will boost their hopes of a victory immensely.Franklin has lost ground in the race for the Coleman medal during recent weeks but St Kilda will remember the season-high haul of nine goals he kicked against their side in 2014.And as Roberton points out, the 29-year-old remains a potent force no matter where he is on the ground.Buddy Franklin can do it all, the rebounding defender said.Obviously he can run all day. Weve got a few people that can go with him. Gilbo (Sam Gilbert) can probably run with him when hes higher up the ground.Chips (Sam Fisher) when hes deep and then hopefully Sean Dempster can come across the top and take a few intercept marks.Were just going to have to try and win our one-on-ones and when we can look to support.Roberton, who will play his 100th game this weekend, noted St Kildas defence will learn plenty no matter what happens.We are a bit undersized this year, so the taller teams .. theyve really tested our ability to play one on one, he said.Were getting better ... were building and next year, getting Jake Carlisle back will really strengthen us up.Roberton suggested the prospect of featuring in finals - slim as it is - wasnt on his mind.None of us get carried away with that, because where weve come from it has never really been on our radar at this time of the year, he said.Were still relying on other teams dropping games. Thats not where we want to be.Weve got at least three weeks left and need to make the most of it, starting with the Pride Game against Sydney which is going to be massive for the club.

They shot 56 percent in the second half to put away the Panthers, who were undone by a combination of turnovers and cold shooting.I thought we were very stagnant in the first half, much better in the second half, Auburn coach Bruce Pearl said. Its probably one of the better second-half defenses weve had. The defense was really good away from us tonight.Georgia State finished with 18 turnovers, which Auburn turned into 16 points.Purifoy was plagued with foul trouble early, and had to come out just three minutes into the game, and he didnt return for the rest of the half. But he scored 17 points in the second half to help propel the Tigers to a second consecutive win.The first half was tightly contested. Each team had trouble holding onto the ball, turning it over a combined 23 times -- 15 of which the Panthers were responsible for. Then, Harper canned two 3-pointers in the final two minutes to give Auburn a five-point lead at the break.
