It’s been a long time coming for the Saints. The St Kilda side will be making their first finals appearance since 2011, and you can catch the action this afternoon at 4:40pm AEST.
Meeting them at the Gabba will be the equally formidable Western Bulldogs. This will mark the Dogs’ second straight finals appearance, and they’re sure to hit the field better prepared after last season’s crushing defeat in an elimination final.
The question is, who’s more hungry? We’re about to find out as St Kilda and the Western Bulldogs go head-to-head in the competition’s first elimination final.
St Kilda v Western Bulldogs: live stream and time
It’s game day! Today’s St Kilda v Western Bulldogs match takes place at the Gabba in Brisbane, Australia, and the match is set to kick off at 4:40pm AEST. Australians can watch the clash free-to-air on 7Mate, on Foxtel’s Fox Footy or live stream St Kilda v Western Bulldogs live and on Kayo Sports.
Just like the rest of the sporting world, it’s been a season like no other for the AFL. Now heading into the first week of the finals series, with four powerhouse matches have already begun.
On October 1, the Power took on the Cats and came out on top, winning by 16 points and advancing to the preliminaries.
Last night (October 2), the Brisbane Lions faced Richmond at the Gabba in a qualifying final, and defied the odds by winning the match 69-54.
St Kilda will soon meet with the Western Bulldogs (Saturday, October 3 at 4:40pm AEST) in an elimination match.
Later tonight, West Coast Eagles will face Collingwood in another finals decider (8:10pm AEST / 6:10pm WST). The Magpies started off strong this year, but have since slumped to the bottom of the top eight teams. Collingwood has had a rocky season on and off the field, so this go-hard or go-home match to be played with an Eagles home crowd will be hard won.
Every finals game will be broadcast live online and on free-to-air. Here's how you can watch it all unfold in the lead up to the Grand Finals on October 24.
