Game Chat – St Kilda v Richmond

Written by Motts on April 15 2021

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.

Mottsy’s Tip: Richmond by 20 (tipping record 9/12)

            1. With Heeney benched I really needed something.

              If he stays fit and keeps tackling. He should be a good buy.

  2. 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.

  9. 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

    1. 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 …
