The Prediction

St Kilda are reeling from a 63-point drubbing at the hands of Adelaide in Round 1. The Saints' defence was overwhelmed in that contest, conceding 21 goals to the Crows. However, they welcome back Mitchito Owens from a shoulder injury, while Isaac Keeler is set to make his AFL debut, potentially providing a much-needed spark.

Geelong, on the other hand, stormed into the 2025 season with a resounding 78-point victory over Fremantle. The Cats' forward line was particularly impressive, piling on 23 goals with Jeremy Cameron kicking four. Their midfield, led by the dynamic Bailey Smith, dominated the contest and will be looking to replicate that performance against the Saints.

For St Kilda to spring an upset, they'll need to sharpen their efficiency and find a way to contain Geelong's potent attack. The Saints have won their last three encounters with the Cats at Marvel Stadium, a statistic they'll hope to build upon.

Geelong's formidable midfield, featuring the likes of Patrick Dangerfield and Bailey Smith, will aim to control the contested possessions and generate scoring opportunities.

Geelong’s superior firepower is likely to be the decider here, and they look poised to secure a healthy away victory.

Tip: Geelong to win with -28.5 handicap
