Sydney left it until the last minute to seal the four points in their nine-point win against St Kilda.
The Saints were left to lament a number of missed set shots in the final quarter which couldâve sealed a memorable victory at the SCG.
The most notable was a miss from Jack Higgins who had a shot with a minute left on the clock to win the game for St Kilda but sprayed his kick wide to give the Swans the ball and the game.
