Marvel Stadium is the venue for Saturday's Round 13 AFL game between St Kilda Saints (4-8, 15th on the AFL ladder) and Gold Coast Suns (7-5, 8th on the AFL ladder).
The Saints looked doomed for another disappointing defeat against the Eagles, behind at halftime. However, Marcus Windhager's decision to tag young gun Harley Reid in the second half proved decisive, as they overcame a 14-point deficit to win by the same score.
Ross Lyon's side will fancy their chances of coming out on top against the Suns, as they have a 6-1 record at Marvel Stadium. The most recent was a 53-point blowout last season.
Gold Coast, meanwhile, slumped Essendon to their third defeat of the season in controversial fashion. Touk Miller was rewarded with a doubtful free kick and a surprise 50m penalty to put the game to bed in the final minutes after a contentious deliberate out-of-bounds call.
