Richmond v St Kilda PreviewTom Williams
SEN
8 Aug 2024Although St Kilda is coming off a heavy 85-point loss to Brisbane last week, the recent form of the Saints has been pleasing having won three of their last five matches.
With impressive wins over Sydney, West Coast and Essendon all coming in July, it seems easier to trust the Saints than it is to trust Richmond this week. That is despite a couple of horror losses when scoring just 39 against both the Crows and the Lions.
The Tigers seem to struggle at Marvel Stadium with their last victory under the roof coming under Damien Hardwick in Round 9, 2021.
Adem Yze’s men have not been on the winners’ list since their clash with Adelaide in early July and currently sit on the bottom of the ladder with just two wins for the season.
After a big week at Punt Road on the back of Richmond great Dustin Martin’s retirement, we may see the Tigers come out firing... or could it have drained the playing group emotionally.
Regardless of which way it goes, the Saints should be able to come away with the four points.
Tip: St Kilda by 19 points.
