Where and when: Docklands Stadium, 7:20pm (AEST)
Last time they met: SF 2020: Richmond 12.8 (80) DEF St Kilda 6.13 (49) at Metricon.
What looked like being a comfortable night for Richmond after a five-goal opening quarter blitz was anything but, as St Kilda fought until the death. But the inaccuracy around goal that plagued the Saints the previous three seasons came back to bite them. After succumbing to a hungry Brisbane outfit seven days earlier, Richmond got back to doing what it does best – pressuring, playing quickly and converting accurately around goal. Dustin Martin (25 disposals, six clearances and a goal), Shai Bolton (three goals from 11 touches) and Shane Edwards (21 and two goals) were all instrumental in the win.
Match Preview: Boy is Richmond under any pressure to perform this week after 2 straight losses? The Saints were in the same boat last week and released the pressure valve with a 20 point win over the visiting Eagles. They’ll be bracing themselves for the Tiges to come out breathing fire.
Motts Watch:
St Kilda
Brought Marshall in last week for Flynn. If he’s playing, I’ll have my eyes firmly fixed on him. I’ll probably also be watching Highmore in his civvies in the stands.
Richmond
Dusty.

Short and Steele VC in this one for me.
Who goes to Dusty ?
Call me crazy, but I just traded Dow for Crouch.
Welcome to the team Brad.
Hi Crazy
Crazy..
Feels like genius at QT 🙂
Bahaha! Nice, FT!
Looked electric last week v Eagles (fml), continuing it this week it seems.
With Heeney benched I really needed something.
If he stays fit and keeps tackling. He should be a good buy.
Late out – Rowan Marshall, Zak Jones
IN, Paul Hunter, Luke Dunstan
Medical subs:
Ben Long
Jack Ross
Motts won’t be happy!
Well completely un related to supercoach. Tigers into the Eagles boosted on Sportsbet will get you odds of $2.03, get on. 😉
Was iffy on the tigs but Marshall and Jones out is enough for me.
Back to supercoach it’s Just Short in this one for me!
Any attention on either Short, Dusty or Steele?
Apologies all……Steele vc
40% DE, 2 clangers and 72% TOG? Really, Short? Those are the stats you’re going with? Ugh.
I hear ya. Dusty quiet. Steele giving away 50m penalties. It’s like they don’t want me to get to 2000!
Lol, yeah not a great start.
1/4 Time and its the Saints by a point : 3.4.22 to 3.3.21

Thanks Lisa. Steele looking better
Prediction, Steele 125-130, to make us sweat on whether to Capt……LOL
How is dusty that high with 45% de?
Good CP work and a goal. On track for 30+ touches as well.
Saints getting well and truly towelled up… Steele never really scores well against Tigers … wasted the VC again … Grundy last week … now watch Grundy have a blinder against NicNat!!
Come on Short and Dustin need a good score!!
3/4 Time – and its the Tigers by 60 points

thanks for the scores all night Lisa!!
Was a lot of people complaining about H.Clark after round 3. Very glad i held onto him. I honestly think he will score better down back then with increased mid time like we were hoping for. Especially if saints are gonna be average.
Excellent game tonight probably a bit stiff not to score more. Few stiff free kicks and dumb 50’s
if he couldn’t ton up tonight with all that traffic in their defence, then there would be something really wrong with him. … be interesting to see how he goes when they win / play better again … but tonight, that was poor again and a good old fashioned thrashing …
Highmore must be wondering what he has to do to get a game
goddard 2.0 , maybe 🙂
Dusty 34 touches for 92 points? I hope he remembered to clean the butcher’s knife after the game
