There's massive finals ramifications when the Saints host the Lions under the roof at Marvel Stadium on Friday night.

Currently one game - and significant percentage - outside the eight in ninth spot (11-9), St Kilda's finals hopes could be dashed by the end of the round, pending other results, if they can't chalk up a win. After a loss to ladder leader Geelong last round, this is now a must-win game for the Saints (10th) if they're to keep the finals dream alive. The Lions are knocking down the door of the top four, currently adrift by percentage only in fifth spot (14 wins, six losses).

ST KILDA 1.1 1.2 2.2 2.4 (16) The All-Australian’s work-rate pushing deep into attack was a noticeable feature throughout, adding to St Kilda’s forward line which was without Caitlin Greiser (knee knock). The experienced Lions were a cut above for majority of the day, skipping out to a three-goal lead before a much-improved second half from the Saints stemmed the flow in the 2.4 (16) to 6.6 (42) result. Erin McKinnon was head and shoulders above St Kilda’s most influential player, piecing together a commanding performance in the air and physical – and at times, fiery – showing at ground level to challenge Brisbane’s set-up.

in direction of the home and leapt. When Jarrod Lienert gained a giant rivalry in opposition to McInerney, the Saints took the lead and Tim Membrey did not disappoint with this snap – and it went to Dayne Zorko to let him learn about it. The ball did not match Neale, because it flowed within the 50 and the Saints missed a 3rd lead whereas Jack Sinclair was there to push the ball out of protection. The primary interval, nevertheless, was principally performed within the Lions entrance half as St Kilda did not clear. Regardless of the Lions making all of the assaults within the opening minutes, Jack Higgins was the primary to take St Kilda to the board.

St Kilda have cost themselves dearly on Friday with one star forward copping the wrath of footy fans for his horrendous outing. James McKern. 2 min read.

“The set shots were relatively easy, they weren’t on tight angles. The Saints’ last seven scoring shots were all behinds. The Lions‘ last five scoring shots netted them four goals and one behind. Footy fans watching on were quick to lambaste King for his horror night out, when St Kilda were desperate for the win. St Kilda fans in the stands were routinely spotted by the cameras with their head in their hands after each miss in front of goal. St Kilda had it all to play for on Friday night against the Brisbane Lions, but they repeatedly shot themselves in the foot.

Cameron Rayner kicked four goals to help Brisbane defeat St Kilda by 15 points under Friday night lights.

St Kilda midfielder Brad Crouch is set to come under the focus of the Match Review Officer after his heavy and high bump on Brisbane defender Darcy Gardiner. Gardiner was kicking but was collected late by Crouch with a big bump, which also connected with Gardiner's head. Rayner kicked what looked like being a steadying goal for the Lions midway through the term but that sparked the Saints, with Wood and Tim Membrey kicking two goals each for the term to stun the Lions and take a five-point lead into the last change. More shots came in the final quarter for the Saints, with King, Membrey and Windhager missing chances. It was clearly Wood's best game for the Saints since arriving from North Melbourne ahead of the 2021 season. After trailing by 26 points in the second quarter, the Saints had rocketed ahead by three-quarter time with a five-goal term. The Lions put their collective foot down in the second term.
