The St. Kilda Saints take on the Brisbane Lions in Round 7 of the 2025 AFL season this Saturday as both teams look to bounce back from losses.
St Kilda, with back-to-back defeats, have fallen to 3-3 after a bright start to the season. The momentum has also shifted against them now as they have some tough encounters lined up in the upcoming games.
However, they will be hopeful on returning home for this clash, at a venue where they have eight of their last nine matches.
Meanwhile, reigning premiers Brisbane Lions faced their first defeat as Collingwood not only won the match but also leapfrogged them to first spot on the ladder.
They will still remain confident with a 5-1 record in the season while facing a St Kilda side that they have beaten in all the past six meetings.
