St Kilda vs Hawthorn Preview

St Kilda and Hawthorn square off at Marvel Stadium on Saturday night, with both clubs riding contrasting waves of momentum. The Hawks have surged into form with three consecutive wins, including a stunning 85-point demolition of North Melbourne last week. Veteran forward Jack Gunston turned back the clock with a career-best seven goals, as Sam Mitchell’s side continues to eye a top-four berth, sitting just outside on percentage.

The Saints, by contrast, are looking to snap a three-game losing streak but found promise in their narrow loss to Fremantle. Rising defender Alix Tauru impressed with 14 spoils—equalling a club record—while Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera and Max Hall showed their potential.

Recent meetings between the sides have been tightly contested, with two wins apiece from their last four clashes. Hawthorn edged the Saints by five points in their most recent encounter, but with youth shining through for St Kilda, Saturday night shapes as another close affair.
