Where and when: Marvel Stadium, Saturday 27th June at 4:35pm (AEST)
Last time they met: Rd 15, 2019: Richmond 16.7 (103) def St Kilda 10.10 (70) at Marvel Stadium
What it means for St Kilda: Are the Saints any good? Against the Roos and Bulldogs St Kilda seemed a greatly improved team, but the bad old habits resurfaced last week when the Pies made a mess of them. If Richmond hands out yet another flogging, the pressure will lift a notch on new coach, Brett Ratten.
What it means for the Tigers: The media rabble has tasted blood in the water down at Punt Road and they are circling. Another loss today and the premiership hangover articles will start.
Thommo’s Watch: Without a lot riding on this game from a Supercoach perspective, I’ll be watching a few stubbies go down.
Thommo’s Tip: The Tigers will be angry = 25 point Richmond win.

Paddy Ryder out replaced by Dean Kent.
late outs ?
Marshall rucking on his own this week , no Ryder
What is up with Short???? 1 Disposal and on 3 at qtr time :/
Also 65% TOG
prob not getting the kick out pts with the rule changes
& the accurate goal kicking wouldn’t help
As one of the rare Gresham owners, allow myself to vent on how he went backwards by 6 that quarter. Not a good debut game in my side mate!
gotta bring in butler for howe next week , gna be the best mid price breakout player of the year
Traded out Darcy Cameron and John Noble to get Rivers and Butler through some DPP movement this week.
Pretty happy at half time….
nice , i went cameron to hill (freo) & sturt to rivers
You missed the boat on Butler, i reckon.
i’m happy to pay 400k for a guy that scores 90 – 135
i have 1.4 mill in my bank right now
Feel like sides like the West Coast, Richmond and the Cats aren’t really trying as much this year. Not to take anything away from the sides that have put them away, but surely this game is a different story with 60,000+ Richmond fans in the house?
3 successful teams may have been a little complacent in lock down , would expect WC to click back into gear when they get back to WA though
Yeah, especially if we get a string of home games.
Very Interesting GD
My thoughts are that perhaps the shorter quarters actually help younger teams.
The teams you mention, due to their experience tend to excel in
“redtime” or the last 5 minutes of quarters when, less experienced / hardened sides get tired or lose concentration.
Maybe the shorter quarters are keeping the younger sides,”In it for longer ” so to speak.
Thoughts ?
Yeah. Great point, FT.
Teams with solid premiership systems like the Eagles and Tigers are hurt by shorter quarters imo; don’t have time to set up, expose structural weaknesses and drag their opponents out to deep water. Whereas, like you said,younger less developed sides like the Saints and Suns can just come out hot and hope to run over the top of opponents.
What does Eddie think?????
with a young tom lynch taking jack reiwoldt’s power fwd role
could the tigers entertain the notion of putting jack up for trade
or
himself using the free agency scenario
as he still has a couple of good seasons left in him
a club with a young improving list that has an open window to win a flag & need an experienced power forward right now , would probably hand over a good trade or still pay very big bucks for him
