St. Kilda are set to lock horns with the Fremantle Dockers on Friday in Round 8 of the 2025 AFL season at the Marvel Stadium in Melbourne.
St. Kilda started their season with three wins in their opening four games in the 2025 home-and-away season; as such, they looked like one of the potential sides to reach the finals series. However, they have since faltered in three straight defeats, with the last two matches against the Western Bulldogs and the Brisbane Lions being lost by 71 and 45 points, respectively. They are now placed 13th on the AFL ladder after seven rounds.
Fremantle, on the other hand, started their 2025 campaign with two straight losses to the Geelong Cats and the Sydney Swans. However, they have bounced back in top fashion as the Dockers have grabbed three wins in their next four clashes, with their only loss during the run of games coming against Melbourne in Round 6.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times, and the latest lineup news.
