Show Preview
The Richmond Tigers will look to shore up their top eight spot against the St Kilda Saints in a Friday night MCG special. Stay up to date with the action on The Roar with live scores from 7:50pm (AEST).
Richmond’s third premiership defence in four seasons has been a fair bit tougher than the other two. While they were also 7-6 at this stage of the 2019 season, before going to win the flag, they’ve looked a class below most of the sides above them in 2021. A soft draw home means their finals spot shouldn’t really be at risk, but the fact they’ve played the other seven teams inside the top eight and won once is a worry.
Those worries are nothing, however, compared to the complete disaster unfolding at St Kilda this season. Their last outing was arguably the nadir of a horror-riddled year, as they gave up a five-goal lead against Adelaide to lose by six. The inevitability of the Crows hitting in the front in the last quarter was particularly striking, with the goodwill of last year’s surprise finals appearance well and truly evaporated.
These sides have already met in 2021 and, unsurprisingly, it was an 86-point romping in Richmond’s favour. The Tigers have won six of their last seven against the Saints by an average of 47 points.
