  • Led by captain Noah Anderson, Touk Miller, and Brownlow medallist Matt Rowell, the Suns surged to a 103 to 80 victory, establishing a game-high 33-point lead late in the second quarter.
  • Despite the loss, St Kilda milestone players Bradley Hill and Dougal Howard celebrated their 300th and 100th games respectively for the Saints in a bittersweet finale.
  • Ben King and Leo Lombard each kicked three goals, while the Suns dominated centre clearances 15 to 4, controlling the contest throughout.
