LIVE UPDATES: Fremantle Dockers hunt revenge against Ross Lyon's St Kilda at Optus Stadium
Fremantle could equal their best streak under Justin Longmuir if they grab their sixth-straight victory today against the Saints.
However, the Saints laid a Melbourne ambush for the Dockers in their last meeting earlier this year, handing the harbour club a stinging defeat.
Can the men in purple get revenge, or will former Fremantle coach Ross Lyon get the last laugh again?
Follow all the action from Optus Stadium on our live blog.
Fremantle head into the game with no changes while Nat Fyfe is back in the subs vest.
He played a full game last week but had better impact during his two appearances as the sub.
It's a big day for Fremantle.
They can equal their best-ever winning streak under Justin Longmuir with victory over St Kilda but Ross Lyon will have a thing or two to say about it.
The Dockers were embarressed by the Saints at Marvel earlier this year and need to have learnt their lessons.
The ground is looking chopped after the British and Irish Lions spanked the Western Force last night but should be fine.
At least better than the SCG!

England unchanged for second Test against India
England have named an unchanged team for the second Test against India, set to begin on Wednesday at Edgbaston, with fast bowler Jofra Archer remaining sidelined. The England and Wales Cricket Board retained the lineup that secured a five-wicket win at Headingley to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. Archer, who was added to England's test set-up last week for the first time since 2021, missed training on Monday due to a family emergency, British media reports said. The 30-year-old was called into the squad following England's thrilling five-wicket victory in the opening Test at Headingley last week. He has not played Test cricket since February 2021 and played his first red-ball match in four years in Sussex's County Championship draw against Durham in Chester-le-Street last week. Archer is expected to rejoin the squad on Tuesday. England will look to take a 2-0 series lead over India with victory but the home side have had a mixed bag of results at the Birmingham venue over the last five years. A defeat by New Zealand in 2021 along with a pair of Ashes losses to Australia in 2019 and 2023 show it could be tough work for England. ENGLAND XI v INDIA: Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes (capt), Jamie Smith (wk), Chris Woakes, Brydon Carse, Josh Tongue, Shoaib Bashir.
