Show Preview

Sunday afternoon football begins at Marvel Stadium, as a struggling St Kilda Saints host the injury-hit Richmond Tigers. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 1:10pm (AEST).

St Kilda’s last three games have been poor, to say the very least. They had a decent start to the season, granted, but have reverted back to the same middling form that has inflicted the side for a fair while now. They’ve had heavy losses to Brisbane and Port (in China), interrupted by a narrow, scrappy win against Gold Coast. Now, they face Richmond: at precisely the wrong time.

Richmond, for their part, haven’t been too good either. They have slumped to three consecutive losses (North, Geelong, Adelaide) whilst they weathered a mammoth injury crisis. The good news for them is that a) those missing players are, by and large, coming back into the side and b) today’s clash starts a fortnight of clashes (they have Gold Coast next week) where they can get a couple of wins on the board.

History isn’t on the Saints side today: barring one 2017 win, the Saints have lost four of their last five against the Tigers by hefty margins; ominous signs, maybe, for today?

There are changes a plenty for both sides today. St Kilda have made four of them: Dean Kent’s season-ending injury, combined with the axing of Jack Newnes, David Armitage and Johnathan Marsh, opens the door for Jack Steele, Nick Coffield, Ben Long and Ben Paton to rejoin the fledging outfit.

Richmond have made a massive seven changes. Dan Butler, Ryan Garthwaite, Liam Baker, Connor Menadue, Jack Higgins, Patrick Naish and Noah Balta have all been omitted. Their replacements are all returning from injury layoffs: David Astbury, Jayden Short, Kane Lambert, Shane Edwards, Ivan Soldo, Trent Cotchin and Shai Bolton are those men.

Prediction
A few weeks back, I would’ve said the Saints were a good shout to win this one. But, after last week and given Richmond’s substantial inclusions, this is the Tigers’ to lose. They’ll win by plenty.

Richmond by 52 points.
