Preview:
Saints coach Alan Richardson is back on the hot seat following last week’s 56-point capitulation against the Lions.
The game was still in the balance at half time before the Saints fell away in the third term allowing Brisbane to kick nine goals. St. Kilda now find themselves sitting 11th on the ladder at 6-7, making Sunday’s game crucial to their top eight chances.
As for the Tigers, Richmond returns from a much-needed bye week following their Round 13 loss to the Crows.
The Tigers are 2-3 following the bye over the last five seasons, and while stats like that are usually worth paying attention to, it’s tough to back a Saints upset coming off last week’s uninspiring performance.
St. Kilda is 5-8 on the back of a loss over the last 12 months, compared to the Tigers, who hold a much more impressive 4-3 record.
Richmond has won three straight over the Saints dating back to 2017, all of which have come by wide margins.
Expect nothing else this weekend from a well-rested Tigers outfit looking to spark a second-half fight back.
