What it means for Sydney: The end of a golden era and celebration time. With 2012 premiership stars Heath Grundy and Nick Smith already retired, and Jarrad McVeigh and Kieren Jack to join them after the game, the clash is a chance for Swans fans to pay tribute to four club stalwarts. Lance Franklin's 300th game makes it a party.
What it means for St Kilda: The Saints have played some good footy in recent weeks and another strong showing will send them in 2020 with plenty to work with. It's also Brett Ratten's last chance to show he can be the man to lead the club.
The stat: Franklin racked up 18 kicks and 12 marks the last time he played the Saints in round 12 last season. He could only manage 4.4 for the day, but the Swans smashed the home side at Marvel Stadium by 71 points.
The match-up: Luke Parker v Jack Steele
The former Giant will attempt to lock down on Sydney's midfield star, and the two hard nuts will relish the chance to crack in against each other. Parker, No.18 in the official AFL Player Ratings, is the highest ranked Swan, while at No.68, Steele is third highest for the Saints.
It’s a big week for: Lance Franklin.
One of the game's greatest forwards has had some setbacks this season but Franklin will finally play his 300th match. With McVeigh and Jack farewelling the Bloods faithful a big crowd is expected, and who loves an occasion more that the superstar Swan?
