Sydney Swans (7W14L 15th) v St Kilda Saints (9W12L 14th)
Saturday 24th August 2019 1:45pm AEST

Not that we any extra motivation with the farewells today, but a win against the Saints would prevent them from possibly jumping to 12th. Since we hold their second round pick this year this has direct consequences for our draft position.
