The 2025 AFL season's Round 17 match sees the St Kilda Saints take on the Hawthorn Hawks on Saturday night at the Marvel Stadium.
St Kilda gave the high-flying top-four contender Fremantle a scare in their latest match but still lost the encounter 81-69. The Saints remain one of the worst teams in terms of form in the league, winning just two of their past 11 matches.
Hawthorn are back to their best after a mid-season slump with three straight wins including a thumping 150-65 victory over the Kangaroos last week. They now face a struggling St Kilda side and return to a venue where they have not lost in the past two years.
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.
