The Adelaide Crows are officially playing for pride when they take on the St Kilda Saints at home on Sunday afternoon. Join The Roar for live scores and coverage from 3:20pm (AEST).

The Crows are in questionable form, having played well but fallen short against Richmond and North Melbourne in the past two weeks.

They’re now left ruing those losses, with Richmond’s storming finish to the season seeing the Tigers snatch eighth spot, meaning today is the Crows’ last match.

St Kilda on the other hand are a team desperately waiting for the year to end, depleted by injury and having won just one of their last sixteen matches. A win in this match would see them dodge the wooden spoon, but it looks unlikely.

The Crows have won the last three in a row against the Saints, including an 86-point smashing away from home in Round 4 earlier this year.

Rory Laird is set to miss with concussion for the Crows, while Charlie Cameron, Luke Thompson and Matthew Wright have all been omitted. Sam Kerridge, Brent Reilly, David Mackay and Matt Crouch all return to the side.

The Saints have recalled James Gwilt and Dylan Roberton, with Tom Curren and Sam Gilbert to miss.

Prediction:
Adelaide should win this one comfortably, but with their finals chances snuffed out, will they have the desire?
