Richmond vs St Kilda @ Marvel Stadium - Round 15, 2019

[Chuck17]

you can add to that jack wont be playing and this is a 50/50 game.

And we play like shyte at the Dome. Very worried about this one. Very high stakes.

Since 2012 we have played there 23 times for 13 wins and 10 losses

Over that time we have played St Kilda there 5 times for 4 wins and 1 loss

With Jack kicking bags in most of those i think

Since 2012 our overall record is 90 - 55 (win rate of 62%). Over that same period we only win 56.5% at the Dome - fairly significant factor.

Over that time our average ladder position is between 5-6, whilst St. Kildas is 14.

So coming into this game, with our respective seasons this tight, and considering our historic penchant for losing crucial games to lesser favoured opposition, yes this merits as a tremendous danger game.

Not having Riewoldt is a huge loss. I felt that he always was driven to not be the Danni Minogue of the Riewoldt so he was able to always find and extra gear when going against Nick. We haven’t kicked 100 points in a while now so even though I like to be optimistic with al games I fear we will get  blown away with a 4th quarter fade out like the last few weeks

[Hard Roar Tiger]

As tasty as the odds are, I’m pretty sure even with Haneberry and Carlisle - we should be too strong for them.
If we lose this one, it’s 2003 all over again

Will we be facing another team after they sack their coach? Hopefully the Saints give Richardson another week. St Kilda are rubbish and probably famous last words but if we lose to them then we don't deserve to play finals. Us coming off the Bye, playing at the Docklands, or them starting fired up should not be an excuse given we're coming off 3 straight losses ourselves. We have no reason to be complacent (we're not 11-1 Geelong). We should come out fired up ourselves against what should be an inferior opponent over 4 quarters.

Match preview: St Kilda v Richmond

AFL.com.au
Dinny Navaratnam
Jun 25, 2019

Where and when: Marvel Stadium, Sunday June 30, 1.10pm AEST 

What it means for St Kilda: A couple of disastrous performances in their past three matches means the Saints need to return to the stifling, defensively sound form on show earlier in the year.

What it means for Richmond: Three straight losses have the Tigers stumbling. A mounting injury toll has proven a tough obstacle, but they need to reverse the results to ensure they feature come September.   

The stat: Richmond averages 14.2 fewer contested possessions per game than its opponent, ranked last in the competition.

The match-up: Tom Lynch v Jake Carlisle

Lynch has copped his fair share of criticism this year but was in the rehab group for most of pre-season, as was Carlisle, who returned in the loss to Brisbane after back surgery. He looked rusty, so it could be an intriguing duel between a couple of big names not quite in top form.

It's a big week for: Alan Richardson

The pressure has been bubbling away for the coach all season but it's ramped right up after the diabolical outing against the Lions. His football manager, Simon Lethlean, put the Saints' inability to beat teams above them on the ladder on the agenda, so while the Tigers enter round 15 outside the top eight, their credentials make them a scalp, something Richardson badly needs for his job security.

Big call: Richmond to end this one early with a blistering opening term, booting nine goals to one as Dustin Martin cuts the Saints to shreds.

Prediction: Tigers by 62 points

We all know this won't happen

[Lozza]

Playing for their coach, will not be a blowout and if we don't take our chances could easily be 4 losses on the trot. We don't have a great record following a bye so don't see us blitzing them in the 1st.

[Rampsation]

We are going to ram our knobs so far up there respecrive clackers it will come out of their mouths. Richmond by 163 points

No need to bring the sunnies on Sunday. The roof will be shut.

[eliminator]

Wow saints are juicy odds and we play like crap at Etihad.

I'd like to think we win this game but I'm not sure it will happen

Totally agree.

Barrett's 'Sliding Doors' comment about us this week:

IF ... four of the seven ins for the game against St Kilda are premiership players, including the skipper Cotchin ...

THEN ... the season relaunch clearly begins on Sunday at Marvel Stadium against the Saints.
