St Kilda Saints vs Richmond Tigers Preview

Together with a 2-2 record in 2021 despite vastly different perceptions as to where their campaigns are headed, St Kilda and Richmond will come together at Marvel Stadium on Thursday night.

The Saints are currently considered outsiders to make the top eight despite causing a boilover against West Coast last weekend, coming from 33 points down midway through the third quarter to win 102-82, led by five goals from Max King.

Meanwhile, the Tigers were last in action against Port Adelaide, falling 79-77 to mark the third straight season during which they’ve lost two of their first four matches.

Coincidentally, St Kilda was one of the sides to defeat Richmond early last season, completing a 93-67 victory at this venue in Round 4.

Nevertheless, it was the Tigers who got the last laugh, defeating the Saints 80-49 in a semi-final at Metricon Stadium behind 25 disposals and 10 inside 50s from Dustin Martin.
