St Kilda will look to their keen young guns to bring North Melbourne's AFL winning streak to an end when the teams meet in Hobart on Saturday.

Captain Nick Riewoldt admitted his team will face an in-form Kangaroos outfit who are coming off five wins and eyeing a finals spot, but expects the Saints aggressive style to serve them well.

"We're excited about the challenge, we've got some young guys in who are trying to forge careers and they're hungry to perform," he told reporters.
