Richmond Tigers vs St Kilda Saints Preview

Richmond has all but locked away pick one in the draft, but despite that upside, last week was quite the sour finish to what has been a sour season.

St Kilda looked like they were ready to shake things up the past few weeks, but returned true to form, bashed by the Lions at Marvel.

With nothing on the line and ladder positions almost sewn up for both, there should be a push for fast footy on the Marvel deck.

It’s a Marvel deck the Tigers particularly don’t like, and hosting this clash against a Marvel tenant probably won’t go down well either.

Back at Norwood in Gather Round, the Tigers were on top for the first half before the Saints got things back on their terms.

Richmond certainly had their opportunities against North, but were super inaccurate, so if they’re able to continue their fast-paced movement against the Saints, they could quickly blow open the game unexpectedly.

The Saints used the footy well against the Lions but were shocking inside 50, unable to create any real momentum or creativity.

When they lack at clearance, they are quite dependent on forcing stoppages up the ground, which can work against bottom sides, in their favour for this one.

Neither team has anything to play for, but with the Tigers holding a firm grasp on pick one, I don’t think a maximum effort will be seen for the rest of the year if they can help it.
