St Kilda Saints vs Richmond Tigers Preview
Back-to-back losses to the Dees and Dogs suddenly has the Tigers staring down the barrel of missing finals.
A month ago, Richmond appeared one of the more dangerous teams on the fringe of the eight, but after falling behind early last week by nine goals, fill-in coach Andrew McQualter has some sudden problems to solve.
The Saints are far from the complete package themselves, but another win should be enough to guarantee a finals spot.
St Kilda was exposed last week by a more resilient Carlton outfit, holding the Blues to a low score, but really struggling to move the ball forward in the second half through the midfield.
Winning the clearances has also been a huge problem area for both clubs, one that cost the Saints dearly down the stretch last week.
Head-to-head, the Tigers have won three of their last five against St Kilda – including a comfortable 20-point win earlier in June – but plenty has changed since then.
Neither side has been particularly profitable on the back of a loss this year, while both rank towards the bottom in terms of points scored.
That said, the Over has saluted in their last two meetings, and the scoreboard could be impacted greatly with Max King back for the Saints, and Trent Cotchin, Dustin Martin, and Maurice Rioli returning for the Tigers.
