ST KILDA and Carlton close out a huge round 22 on Sunday night at Marvel Stadium in a clash set to have huge ramifications for the wildcard spots.
The Saints (9-11) gave Sydney a huge scare before again being left wanting against a top-half side when the game was up for grabs in the final term.
SAINTS v BLUES Follow it LIVE
St Kilda has dropped out of the wildcard places and is still yet to beat a side currently sitting in the top 10 in 10 attempts this season.
However, the Saints' finals destiny is still in their own hands and they can leapfrog the Blues with a win this week.
Carlton (10-10) took command of its finals fate as it piled on the club's highest score since 2012 and had 16 individual goalkickers in a rousing victory over an in-form Brisbane.

NO LATE CHANGES
The Blues are playing with a newfound freedom and have won nine of 11 matches under interim coach Josh Fraser, but with a relatively poor percentage, need to win at least two more games to be confident of a wildcard place.
Carlton goes into the clash unchanged, while the Saints have named Cooper Sharman to replace Tobie Travaglia.
