ST KILDA and Brisbane have both got performance patterns they want to break, but the Saints will be happy to wait a little while longer before they shake the win-loss-win-loss rut they've been in for the past 10 weeks.
After saluting in the first four rounds, St Kilda has been unable to get a matching result in consecutive weeks but, coming off a loss to Richmond, it'll be hoping the sequence-buster can wait until round 16.

Meanwhile, the Lions will want to shake their poor road record, having only won two of six away games this year.
However, they've beaten the Saints four of the last five times these teams have met – including the last two at Marvel Stadium – so Chris Fagan will be keen to use this game as a launching pad for his side's run to finals.
Brisbane will go in with a smaller forward line than usual, dropping Darcy Fort to make way for Hugh McCluggage's return from concussion.
