Good afternoon and welcome to the final edition of AFL Express for the home-and-away season!
Unfortunately, Richmond's win over Sydney yesterday rendered today's three games virtual dead rubbers.
West Coast and Adelaide can no longer qualify for the finals.
But there's still plenty to play for for all six clubs today with pride on the line and some players aiming to keep their careers alive.
The first game is between Gold Coast and West Coast at Metricon Stadium and the Suns are gunning for a club record 11th victory in a season.
At 3.20pm (AEST), Adelaide hosts St Kilda at Adelaide Oval with the Saints aiming to avoid a league record 27th wooden spoon.
And the final game is between the Western Bulldogs and GWS at Etihad Stadium.
The Giants have a club record sixth victory in their sights.
Gold Coast has never beaten West Coast and will be aiming to end a four-game losing streak against the Eagles today.
There are no late changes at Metricon Stadium today.
Jesse Lonergan (Gold Coast) and Elliot Yeo (West Coast) are the starting subs.
Perfect day for football as the boys go through their pre-match warm-up routine. #AFLSunsEagles pic.twitter.com/dTkCkS2H5h — GC SUNS (@GoldCoastSUNS) August 31, 2014
It might be a dead rubber but that doesn't mean the boys don't want to finish with a win. Fire up! #gosuns pic.twitter.com/tud7ap9p7F — GC SUNS (@GoldCoastSUNS) August 31, 2014

He didn't want you to see his face, but that's Bluey McKenna shooting the breeze with Simmo. pic.twitter.com/fLYg5VmWo2 — West Coast Eagles (@WestCoastEagles) August 31, 2014
