The 2025 AFL season's Round 18 match sees the St. Kilda Saints take on the Sydney Swans on Sunday at the Marvel Stadium in Melbourne.
The Saints are on a four-game losing streak with a 5-11 record despite putting out brave performances in recent weeks. They are coming on the back of a 94-74 defeat to Hawthorn. In their previous meetings with the Swans, they managed to edge out with a narrow 84-82 victory.
Meanwhile, Sydney have won three out of their past four games while their faint finals hopes still remain. With a 7-9 record, they currently sit 10th on the ladder, three wins behind the top eight.
The Swans beat fellow top-eight contender Fremantle 94-83 last week and will hope to continue their winning momentum. They cannot afford to drop points at this stage in the season.
