The 2025 AFL season's Round 20 match sees the St Kilda Saints face off against Melbourne Demons to wrap the footy weekend on Sunday evening at the Marvel Stadium.
It’s a meeting between two out-of-form sides desperate for wins. Both teams have been on a horror run lately. The Saints have suffered nine losses in their last ten matches, while the Demons haven't fared much better, dropping six of their past seven.
Both teams are officially out of finals contention and can now focus on setting up a strong foundation for next season. But there's still pride on the line, and neither team will take this matchup lightly.
However, they have a poor record at the Marvel Stadium. Although they will hope to grind through a win as they have three winnable games lined up next and to finish their season on high.
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.
