The feature game in the AFL tonight is between St Kilda Saints and Hawthorn Hawks. The opening bounce is at 7:40pm local time with the match being played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The last time these two teams met was in Round 8 last year in which Hawthorn won by thirty points at the MCG.

Hawthorn went into their match against the Swans as favourites but were very disappointing losing the match by thirty seven points whilst St Kilda continued their winning form beating Melbourne Demons by eighteen points in what was a much closer match than the final score suggests.

Hawthorn regain Grant Birchall, Isaac Smith and Jarrad Boumann for the match which will boost the line-up compared to last weeks game whilst the Saints will bring Arryn Siposs back into their forward line.

Hawthorn will hope to regain their early season form and if they can then the Hawks should be too strong for an under achieving St Kilda squad.

WHERE AND WHEN: MCG, Saturday May 5, 7.40pm
LAST TIME: Hawthorn 14.15 (99) d St Kilda 10.9 (69), round eight, 2011 at the MCG
