Richmond Tigers vs St Kilda Saints Preview
It will be a special night for the Richmond Football Club on Saturday with former long-time captain Trent Cotchin bringing up game No. 300.
Fittingly, the Tigers have found some form under interim coach Andrew McQualter, knocking off the Giants and Fremantle in narrow fashion to remain in the thick of the finals hunt.
Further up the ladder, the Saints also took a step towards cementing a top-eight spot with a win over Sydney last Thursday night.
It was touch and go in parts, but Ross Lyon’s side managed to play a clean brand of footy in the final term, smothering the Swans down the other end to win by 14 points.
Looking back, the Saints have won three of their last four against Richmond, but as the market suggests, this one could go either way.
In comparison, both sides are averaging a similar number in goals and scoring shots, while neither has made a habit of putting teams away by big margins at all this season.
The other constant worth noting is how up and both teams have been quarter by quarter. The Saints and Tigers rank third and fourth respectively when it comes to winning the third term, but Richmond has made a bad habit of fading late in games.
With so many variables, an unpredictable, back-and-forth contest appears most likely.
