It’s Round 3 and the reigning premiers are yet to record a win in the 2026 season. Is that about to change when they face the Saints? Saturday also wraps up with an important clash between North Melbourne and Essendon.
St Kilda Saints vs Brisbane Lions
Brisbane Lions -12.5
Some big inclusions for Brisbane with Logan Morris and Zac Bailey returning, which should go a long way towards the Lions getting their first win of the season.
The Western Bulldogs form line from Round 0 looks strong now, and that was a game Brisbane probably should have won despite McCluggage going down early.
The Lions have also dominated this matchup, winning nine of the last ten meetings against St Kilda, including their last five at Marvel Stadium by an average margin of 46 points.
Jaspa Fletcher 20+ Disposals
Defenders and outside players generally find plenty of the ball against the Saints. Last week Lachie Ash had 38 disposals, while Josh Daicos had 36 against St Kilda in Round 0.
Fletcher averages 22 disposals across his last 26 games and has recorded 20+ disposals in 21 of those games, an 81% strike rate.
Fremantle Dockers vs Richmond Tigers
Seth Campbell 1+ Goals
Seth Campbell was quiet in the opening round but responded strongly last week against the Suns, finishing with 3.2.
With Tom Lynch out injured, Campbell becomes Richmond’s biggest forward threat. He kicked a team-high 28 goals last season and averaged 1.3 goals per game.
Essendon Bombers vs North Melbourne Kangaroos
Cam Zurhaar 2+ Goals
Cam Zurhaar has an outstanding record against Essendon and with the Bombers conceding plenty of goals early this season, he gets another good opportunity here.
Zurhaar has kicked 18 goals across his last eight games against Essendon and has kicked two or more in five of those games, including two games where he kicked four.
He has also started the 2026 season well with two goals in both games so far.
