The St Kilda Football Club’s wait for a premiership is one of the longest in Australian football.
Since their inception in 1897, the Saints and their long-suffering fans have tasted the ultimate success just once – by one point over Collingwood in 1966.
St Kilda’s history is that of a perpetually underachieving team. The Saints have won more wooden spoons (27) than any other side in the history of the VFL/AFL and have often been mired in mediocrity and scandal.
The club has had its chances to change its fate. It has played in eight grand finals (including one replay final after a draw in 2010), with one solitary triumph.
While pain and heartbreak has become part of the identity of the club and its fans, there’s no doubt that the Saints have fielded some of the absolute greats of the game – individual champions that will go down in football folklore.
The Saints endured another typically St Kilda-like year in 2024, winning the games they were expected to but losing ones they should have claimed. Ross Lyon’s defensive game plan seems to be working, but they struggled to kick winning scores in the back half of the season.
With injuries already piling up before the season begins, can the Saints make an unlikely finals push, or are they destined for a bottom-four finish? Let’s see what the bookmakers think of their chances ahead of the 2025 AFL Premiership season.

Best St Kilda bets for the 2024 AFL season
Where are the best St Kilda bets in the AFL futures markets that matter?
Click on the tabs below to get more analysis on these markets:
- St Kilda’s 2025 AFL Premiership hopes rest on list continuity and tactical evolution under Ross Lyon. With a strong defensive setup and emerging midfield depth, the Saints must improve scoring efficiency. If injuries stay minimal and key players fire, they could challenge—but history suggests consistency remains their biggest hurdle.
- St Kilda’s finals hopes hinge on consistency and firepower. Ross Lyon’s defensive system is sound, but the Saints must sharpen their attack to compete with top sides. If Max King stays fit and the midfield steps up, they’re a genuine shot—but depth and scoring remain key concerns.
- Max King is St Kilda’s focal point, and while he has the talent to challenge for the 2025 Coleman Medal, several factors must align. If he stays fit, receives consistent delivery from the Saints’ midfield, and sharpens his accuracy, he’ll be in the mix.

St Kilda players to watch in 2025

Born: 22/02/2003
Games: 63

Position: Defender
Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera is poised for a standout 2025 AFL season with St Kilda. Transitioning from the wing to half-back, he has showcased exceptional ball use and composure, becoming a pivotal part of the Saints’ defence. In 2024, he averaged 26 disposals per game, highlighting his growing influence. As he continues to develop, expectations are high for Wanganeen-Milera to further elevate his game and solidify his reputation as one of the league’s premier rebounding defenders.
Jack Macrae
Born: 3/08/1994

After switching to St Kilda for the 2025 AFL season, Jack Macrae is expected to reestablish himself as a premier midfielder. The 30-year-old fell out of favour at the Western Bulldogs and opted for a change of scenery. Macrae is set to reach a significant career milestone, playing his 250th AFL game in his St Kilda debut. Expectations are high for him to make a substantial impact in the Saints’ midfield during the 2025 season.
