Where and when: Marvel Stadium, Saturday 29 May at 4:35pm (AEST)
Last time they met: Round 1, 2020: North Melbourne 8.8 (56) def St Kilda 7.12 (54) at Marvel Stadium
Last five: North Melbourne 4 – St Kilda 1
Match Preview: North have had the wood over the Saints in recent clashes but surely the Saints will be up and about after last week’s debacle. St Kilda only have two speeds: Good or absolutely rubbish, and surely we see more of the former this week, especially after the media focused on their poor trading in recent seasons. Brad Hill will want to lift after his $900k pay received significant attention.
The Roos had been showing signs of improvement up until their clash with the Bombers last week and they will need to avoid another thumping this week. However, even with their recent success over the Saints, it is hard to see North overcoming a motivated Saints on the rebound.
Thommo Watch:
Jye Simpkin is turning into a handy midfielder while everyone owns Jack “kick it sideways” Ziebell.
Welcome to the tribe Jack Steele – you know you can crack 150 points against the Roos!

Ziebell, Crouch, Highmore and Steele in this one for me.
Crouch is playing, FT, on 11 points playing inside mid.
Thanks CT.
He seems to be doing ok 😉
Steele repaying the faith on 124 at 3/4 time.
Highmore looks a disaster at D6, with Kosi and Jones on my Bench 🙁
Afternoon, fellas.
Just Ziebell, Hall and Highmore loop for me here.
Hi GD, just Ziebell in this one.
Ziebell 14 kicks, no handballs. Delicious lol.
Hall looking good GD.
If I had realised that Saints were such an inaccurate team I would have put the C on Ziebell
1/4 Time and it’s the Saints leading the Roos 3.6.24 to 1.0.6

Highmore is stinking it up. Shame coz all my other players have done ok
Cunnington will be on zero points by half time giving away a few free kicks
Ooof, this is a low skill affair.
Half Time – Saints in control 7.11.53 to the Roos 3.4.22
Message for Highmore, who I have on the field (over Kos & L Jones) – please wake up!!!!

Thought I was clever with eight warm bodies in defence. Only problem is Highmore onfield, Murphy and kosi on bench
I hear you Wighty, so frustrating….
Yeah….after carrying him for so long. Gotta hold till his bye now.
Not alone I guess.
Steele on Debut <3
Rd couldn’t get worse for me damn. Lost this one
Damn had high hope for highmore should’ve bench him for Murphy lost this rd with C Grundy! Rd going down.
Come on Highmore score make a dough so i can sell
Geez not a super Saturday today, pies cats game was awful and this isn’t much better…
