St Kilda coach Ross Lyon says he expects a tight AFL match against the Western Bulldogs at Docklands tonight.
Both sides are undefeated this season, with the Bulldogs just ahead of the Saints on the ladder.
The Bulldogs thrashed Melbourne by 95 points last week, while St Kilda overcame a sluggish start to beat Carlton by 40 points.
Lyon says the Bulldogs are in great form.
"I expect every game I go in to to be really tight and you don't go in thinking you're going to steam roll anyone in AFL footy, we expect it to go to the wire," he said.
"We want to work hard, we want to bring our work boots and make sure we're in the contest, because they can blow you away quicker than any other team in the AFL."
Lyon says the Bulldogs' high-scoring forwards will be hard to contain.
"They've got all their run back, all their skill back, and they've kicked something like 19 goals and 20 odd goals," he said.
"So they're really up and firing and I think everyone really respects the way they play - they're a really difficult challenge."
Brendon Goddard will play his first match for the Saints in nearly a year after recovering from a knee reconstruction.
