Tiges vs Saints matchday thread

[one-eyed]

Herald-Sun preview:

Saturday, July 29
ST KILDA v RICHMOND MCG 2.10pm

Head to head: St Kilda 62 Richmond 102 Drawn 2

Last time: St Kilda 13.10 (88) bt Richmond 11.11 (77) R2 2006 Telstra Dome

TAB Sportsbet: St Kilda $1.40 Richmond $2.80
Centrebet: St Kilda $1.40 Richmond $2.95

St Kilda may still be below its best, but it is riding a four-game winning streak and is now zeroing in on a top-four berth. In contrast, Richmond has lost its last two to slip out of the top eight after punching above its weight for much of 2006. The Tigers did go very close to upsetting St Kilda back in round two and may well have done so had young defender Will Thursfield not injured his knee in the final quarter. That freed up Nick Riewoldt to stamp his authority in the dying minutes.

Key: The Tigers don't appear to have a good match-up for Riewoldt this time around and that spells trouble.

Tip: St Kilda by 25 points

Sarge gets our first.

Gram gets his second for the Saints  .

Rich   1.1-7
St K   2.2-14

[mightytiges]

We're lucky Riewoldt is a worse kick for goal than Richo.

Terry you need to tag Gram on their half-back line  .

Rich   1.2-8
St K   2.4-16

[mightytiges]

Gram was the only Saint in form off half-back and we're allowing him to run around loose  . Terry finally makes the move 3 goals too late. Rodan onto Gram.

Another turnover and another with Paddy kicking over his head out on the full .

Rich   2.2-14
St K   5.5-35

[mightytiges]

Rodan kicks a goal but the ump pulled it back to 51m out. What about advantage you maggot   .  Cost us a goal .

QT

Rich   2.2-14
S K    5.5-35

What a pathetic quarter!

Simmo gets the hitouts but the Saints are clearing the footy.

[mightytiges]

Richo goals    but once again the Saints get it straight out of the centre and get it back 

Rich   3.2-20
St K   6.5-41

[mightytiges]

This is going to a 100 point thumping  . Our skills and decision making are pathetic and the Saints are working harder and getting numbers ot the footy.

[mightytiges]

Tivs goals and even then we almost stuffed it upcoming out of defence. We finally get it out of the cente after a goal to us and Lids just misses. Saints go coast to coast to Riewoldt then Gehrig and goal  .

Rich   4.3-27
St K   9.5-59

[mightytiges]

Browny hammy. Are we cursed or something?!  .

Blingers is totally out of form. Didn't put body pressure on Goddard in a marking contest and then missed his set shot. His confidence looks real down. LOL as I'm typing this he then takes a good mark in the goalsquare and goals (MT =  ).

Rich   5.5-35
St K   9.6-60

[mightytiges]

Schulz now off groggy and limping after being crunched  .  We'll be lucky to win another game for the year at this rate.

Gehrig has 6  .

Rich  5.5-35
St K 11.6-72
