One way or another, a loss to the benchmark team shows us where we're really at. But, we'd still rather catch up again after a victory. The Cats provide a test in Round 9 but one that we should be going into expecting a win.

Plus, we chat with former Saint grand finalist and Port Adelaide premiership player - one half of the twin set - Darryl Wakelin.

Just like in Judge Dredd, we saw it coming. Kick 4.18 and it's going to be extremely tough to win games of football. We discuss the horrific conditions in Cairns, and look forward to a Mother's Day game against the benchmark of the competition at the home of football.

Plus, we're joined by maybe the unluckiest player to ever don the red, white and black, former Chairman and CEO of the VFL/AFL, Ross Oakley.

Four in a row! The St Kilda Football Club produced a workmanlike effort in a methodical victory over the Gold Coast Suns to sit in the AFL's Top-4 after the opening five rounds. Competition for spots in the Saints lineup is stronger than it has been for a decade or more.

We take a look at the upcoming primetime clash with the GWS Giants in Canberra, and the boys are joined by dad-of-a-gun - himself an 80+ game rover for St Kilda: BRETT BOWEY.

Aside from the opening two-minutes of the game, it was a real four-quarter performance from the Saints as we demolished the Hawks at the MCG on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

Plus we speak to "Ivy's boy" - and 48 game Saint, of course - Brett Moyle, about a range of topics from Malcolm Blight and Grant Thomas, to a rising star nomination, to injuries that ultimately prematurely ended his AFL career.

It was Max King who once again tore the game apart with a 20 minute burst of withering offensive football, but he wasn't alone as Jack Sinclair, Brad Crouch, Jack Steele and others all stood up in the second half against Richmond in 'Maddie's Match'.

Plus we speak to 1966 Premiership player, St Kilda FC club leading goalkicker, interim coach and even Saints' father, Allan Davis, about his Saints career and tumultuous relationship with Allan Jeans.

A complete performance from Josh Battle in defence, and a day out for King and Higgins ended in a valuable victory out West for the St Kilda Football Club.

We cast our eye to "Maddie's Match" against Richmond at Marvel Stadium, while we speak to Saints legend, Brownlow medallist and 1966 Premiership hero, Ross Smith.

“It was a privilege to face one of Warne’s top 10 deliveries.”

Former England Cricket skipper Alec Stewart was front and centre for so many of Shane Warne's greatest moments. We spoke to him about "Warnie's" legacy.

Our new segment "That's so St Kilda" is off to a flyer in 2022 as a number of events fit the bill already before the men's season has even begun.

We take a look at the AAMI Community Series win over Essendon, while we also chat with 169-game St Kilda midfielder, David Armitage about his career journey from starting out as a youngster under Ross Lyon and Nick Riewoldt, to becoming a leader in his own right, and we wish a very special birthday to the one and only, Tony 'Plugger' Lockett.

We also give a sneak peek into a special cricket-themed bonus episode following the death of Shane Warne. You can hear our tribute to the great leg-spinner and Saints tragic on all our channels.
