St Kilda Saints vs Fremantle Dockers: AFL live scores

The Fremantle Dockers head to Tasmania to battle the St Kilda Saints knowing a win could see them in the eight… for a few hours, at least. Follow the action from Hobart as the final day of the home-and-away season begins with live scores on The Roar from 12:15pm (AEST).

Last week’s pulsating Derby win has ensured the Dockers will remain in the final mix until the bitter end, though it’s doubtful they could do any damage even if they can sneak in.

To do that, they’d need to take care of business against the inconsistent but potentially damaging Saints, then wait to see if Essendon slip up against Collingwood in a few hours’ time.

The Saints are all but mathematically out of the reckoning, but showed their best footy is good enough to trouble anyone when they stunned Geelong with a five-goal start in their match last week. That they went on to lose nicely sums up their wretched 2021 season – there has been far too little of that good stuff to keep them on track for a second straight finals series.

Andrew Brayshaw is back for the Dockers after missing the Derby through suspension; while for the Saints, gun young forward Max King misses. Saints ball magnet Luke Dunstan is also a surprise omission.
