The Hawthorn Hawks (2-6) return to Tasmania for the first time in 2024 when they go head-to-head with the St Kilda Saints (3-5) on Saturday afternoon at the University of Tasmania Stadium.
St Kilda will be looking for a victory to keep pace with the top eight in the early stages of the season. The Saints are 14th in the AFL rankings following a 38-point win against winless North Melbourne.
They head into this one as slight favourites but will need to be at their best against a young Hawks side that should be buoyed after recording their second win last weekend, beating the Western Bulldogs by seven points.
