This game of the Australian Football League's Round 15 takes place at Marvel Stadium and features a showdown between the St. Kilda Saints and the Brisbane Lions. Because they were unable to capitalize on their previous victory, the St. Kilda Saints were defeated by the Richmond Tigers by a score of 90-70 last week. The Brisbane Lions defeated the Sydney Swans with a score of 97-81, which brought a stop to a losing streak of two games for the team.

St. Kilda believes that they have had a highly uneven season so far, despite the fact that they are now in fifth place on the ladder; nevertheless, this is probably more of a judgment on their recent form than anything else. Since they were on a four-game winning streak to open the season, the Saints have not been able to follow up a victory with another and maintain their winning streak. Their ability to bounce back from a victory with a loss and a loss with a win has been the one area in which they have maintained their level of consistency. Their position in the top eight is quite secure at the moment; nevertheless, they are aware that a run of losses might result in a rapid fall down the ladder if they continue to perform poorly. In light of the fact that the team has been doing poorly as of late, a victory over the Lions would send a strong message about their intentions. This week, there is a strong possibility that Zak Jones, Jack Billings, and Dan McKenzie will all return through the VFL. Following their exclusion from the AFL the previous week, Ben Paton and Jack Bytel have shown that they should be included with their performances in training.
Brisbane Lions confident on building on their last win
After suffering defeat at the hands of the Adelaide Crows and the Hawthorn Hawks, the Brisbane Lions and their supporters were probably concerned that the hangover they were experiencing as a result of their fantastic seven-game winning streak would last for a considerable amount of time. Despite this, they prevailed over the Sydney Swans in a nail-biting contest by a score of 97-81, which enabled them to move on from their recent string of setbacks. In this match, the Lions will need to improve on their recent form on the road in order to boost their chances of winning their next two games in a row away from home since the team has dropped their previous two away games in a row. Hugh McCluggage could be able to make his comeback this week, while Daniel Rich and Jack Gunston remain sidelined with injuries. All three players, Jaxon Prior, James Madden, and Jarryd Lyons, have left a positive impression and are vying for a spot on the first squad.

Both teams in this encounter are seeking to improve upon their previous efforts and are making every effort to reduce the gap at the top of the table while also ensuring that they will participate in the postseason. However, in what is anticipated to be a very difficult and tight encounter, I think that St. Kilda Saints will earn a close victory. I expect a win from the home side, which will put an end to their current string of successive home defeats.
