Richmond vs St Kilda @ Etihad - Round 16, 2015

[one-eyed]

Richmond and St Kilda will honour the recent passing of Madeleine Riewoldt, with the upcoming Round 16 match between the clubs dubbed ‘Maddie’s Match’.

Madeleine’s brother, Saints’ captain Nick Riewoldt, along with Tigers’ spearhead Jack Riewoldt (Madeleine’s cousin), helped launch the concept today at Etihad Stadium.

Maddie’s Match is the first major fundraiser of ‘Maddie Riewoldt’s Vision’, which has been established to help adolescents and young adults suffering from Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes through research and providing support into prevention and treatments, with an aim to find a cure.

For the Round 16 match between Richmond and St Kilda on Sunday, July 19, $5 from every ticket purchased will to go towards Maddie Riewoldt’s Vision.

Both clubs will wear guernseys emblazoned with the Maddie Riewoldt’s Vision logo, and #fightlikemaddie.

Richmond, St Kilda and the AFL are calling on all footy fans to support Maddie Riewoldt’s Vision, attend the match and wear purple – Maddie’s favourite colour.

Saw the two Riewoldts on AFL 360 last night promoting this game. Both spoke really well and it was extremely sad hearing about Maddie.
Congratulations to both clubs for their efforts to raise money for a great cause. Makes me proud of our club doing things like this.

Venue: Etihad Stadium

Gamestyles:

RICHMOND

(Bronze medal for ball movement.)

Like Guns N’ Roses sang, it’s all about a little patience. Now holding the ball and taking their time with its ball transition. Without the ball the Tigers rush to get numbers back.

ST KILDA

(Silver medal for pressure differential.)

Relishes applying pressure, but it’s what the Saints do after forcing a mistake that’s propelling this emerging group. The Saints only rank 10th for forward-half turnovers created, but they’ve scored from 41 per cent of these turnovers — ranked No.1.

Reckon the saints are gunna be all guns blazing, we better be ready to match them.

Wear the storm top under my tigers jumper I think.

Saints coming off a 35 pt loss to the Giants today. They also lost Nick Riewoldt, who went off with a sore calf and maybe in doubt for our game, while their ruckman Billy Longer was reported.

Reckon Nick might play even with a leg missing next week, considering its his sister this game is honouring

Saints grand final

But don't worry - its big boy month

[Stalin]

They will run all over us like the doggies ...

[WA Tiger]

There will be no excuses and nowhere to hide for the players if we lose this. There is no losing this game and that's it.

Don't worry about Nick being fired up, remember how close Jack was to her too. Even though Nick is her brother expect the very best of Jack too.
