FULL TIME
Sydney has run away to a 71-point win.
It was a horrible performance from the Saints, who were never in the hunt after conceding the first nine goals of the game.
Daniel Harford said the Saints are in real trouble.
“Alan Richardson’s in a world of pain,” Harf said.
Tony Shaw said he feels for Saints fans right now, one of whom is 3AW host Dee Dee Dunleavy:
I have barracked for St Kilda for 50 years this year, been loyal throughout and will remain so, and have seen the good and the bad. But this is the lowest I have ever felt.

THE BUILD-UP
Sydney is looking to reclaim its spot in the Top 4, having been knocked out by Geelong after their win over North.
But the Saints are looking to kick-start its season.
The Saints made a statement on Thursday night, dropping Jack Billings after a string of poor games.
Will their intent translate onto the field?
