ST KILDA had ups and downs throughout the course of the 2024 AFLW season, but ultimately could only scrape together the four wins which saw them still 10 points outside the top eight. With some list changes over the summer, it is hoped that the red, white and black can work their way back into the post-season calculations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LAST SEASON IN A NUTSHELL<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Position:<\/strong> 11th B&F:<\/strong> Jaimee Lambert<\/a> OFF-SEASON MOVES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ins: <\/strong>Nicola Barr (GWS), Charlotte Baskaran (Hawthorn), Amber Clarke (Essendon), Zoe Besanko (Dandenong Stingrays\/AFLW Draft), Kyla Forbes (Calder Cannons\/AFLW Draft), Alana Gee (Gold Coast\/AFLW Draft), Lilu Hung (injury replacement player\/Aspley), Arianna Clarke (injury replacement player\/Sandringham Zebras) <\/p>\n\n\n\n 2025 TEAM LIST<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n #1 Molly McDonald *inactive ONES TO WATCH<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Key Player:<\/strong> Jaimee Lambert In a strong midfield, Lambert remain a key focal point and will be great as that second possession winner to try and breakaway with the likes of Georgia Patrikios<\/a>. If the latter can get to her debut season form then watch out as she has the potential to explode in 2025 and really take the Saints to another level. Bringing in experience was crucial for St Kilda, and one such player was ex-Hawk Charlotte Baskaran<\/a> who should get more opportunities in the red, white and black, and use her foot skills to full advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2025 FIXTURE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Round 1: <\/strong>vs. Adelaide | Sun Aug 17 @ RSEA Park, 2:10pm PREDICTION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n After another season of missing finals, St Kilda will hope the injection of experience will aid in getting the Saints into the post-season series. Always a tough side to try and predict where they will finish, St Kilda shows glimpses of brilliance, while still dropping games it shouldn’t, so doing less of the latter is crucial in taking the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n
