Live: Saints, Suns kick off Round 24 at Docklands
The final round in the AFL home-and-away season kicks off with St Kilda hosting Gold Coast at Docklands, with both sides playing for pride. Follow live.
The Gold Coast Suns defeated St Kilda 103-80 in Round 24 of the AFL, sealing a strong finish to a challenging season. Ben King, a key player for the Suns, appeared emotional during the team song following the win, hinting at his potential departure from the club. Coach Damien Hardwick confirmed that King is likely to request a move to Hawthorn, while the team expressed their gratitude for his contributions.
The Suns also highlighted the promising performances of young forwards Jed Walter and Ethan Read, who are expected to bolster their roster. St Kilda, on the other hand, couldn't secure a win at home and will look to regroup for the upcoming season. The game was a fitting send-off for former Suns' club stalwart Nick Holman, who retired after game 145, marking a significant milestone in his career.
