St Kilda vs Hawthorn Preview
St Kilda and Hawthorn will clash under the Marvel Stadium lights on Saturday night, with the two sides arriving in starkly different form. The Hawks are flying high after notching three straight victories, capped by a dominant 85-point rout of North Melbourne. Jack Gunston wound back the clock with a career-best seven-goal haul, as Sam Mitchell’s men push for a top-four spot—currently just outside on percentage.
The Saints, meanwhile, are desperate to halt a three-game slide but took heart from their spirited showing against Fremantle. Young defender Alix Tauru equalled a club record with 14 spoils, while Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera and Max Hall offered glimpses of a promising future.
Their recent head-to-head record is evenly split at two wins apiece from the last four matchups. Hawthorn claimed a narrow five-point win in their latest meeting, and with both sides fielding exciting young talent, this one looms as another tightly fought contest.
