The Saints will play finals football for the first time since 2011 after guaranteeing a berth in the top eight with a 52-point thrashing of the Giants.
St Kilda has qualified for the AFL finals for the first time since 2011 and shut the door on Greater Western Sydney's season with a 52-point thrashing at the Gabba.
Not since Ross Lyon was coach have the Saints tasted finals action and they clinched their berth via the 12.10 to 3.12 win, which could see them finish as high as sixth on the ladder. The result confirmed the Giants — last year's beaten grand finalists — will not take part in the finals for the first time since 2015.
