If recent clashes are anything to go by, this should be another thrilling contest at the Gabba.

Whilst St. Kilda holds a 4 – 0 record over Brisbane since 2009, the winning margins have been, from most recent – 13, 13, 14 and 16 points.

To keep that record in tact though, the Saints will have to snap a five game losing streak and turn around an embarrassing 102 loss to Geelong last week.

Brisbane on the other hand, had won three on the trot before travelling to Adelaide last week and, despite being competitive, lost to Port 71 – 62.

Back home, where the Lions have claimed the scalps of North, Essendon and Geelong this year, they should be able to break the Saints record over them and return to the winner’s list.
