Two sides currently separated by just a place on the AFL ladder will lock horns at Adelaide Oval on Saturday afternoon, as the 15th-placed West Coast Eagles (3-8) take on the 16th-placed St. Kilda Saints (3-8).
The Eagles will look to put a 99-point smashing on the road to Adelaide behind them when they return in search of a positive result on home turf. The Eagles have won three of their past four games at home, with the only defeat in that time being by one goal to the high-flying Bombers, although their away record has been terrible.
With three straight losses leaving them four wins outside the top eight at the halfway point of the season, St Kilda's season is on the verge of capitulating. If the Saints lose to last year's wooden spooners, they could tumble to 16th place, behind the Eagles.
