Round 2 2013: St Kilda v Richmond- Live Chat from 7.30pm

[Yidaki]

Saints will start the season 0-2.

 

[THEROO 09]

I really hope the Tiges will win and stick it to the Saints Supporters but unfortunately I can't see it happen
Saints by 4 goals

Why the hatred bigwilly

 

[aussierulesrules]

Only thing I could see killing the tigers is their goal kicking though. Not sure what's going on with their scoring shots at the moment. Wasn't too flash in the NAB either.

I take it you're not too familiar with our kicking for goal in the past season and again last week (10.17)?

 

[Bluelegs]

Same at saints though bluelegs think they hit the post four times last week Gold Coast three I think?

Was it that bad in pre-season?

 

[THEROO 09]

Was it that bad in pre-season?

Not sure didn't watch any of the Mickey Mouse cup no pay t.v.

 

[Bazzar]

Saints by 4 goals

What are your reasons for it not happening?

 

[magnificent]

If saints butcher the ball again we will lose by 30 points, but if the saints are able to play smart and hit up targets up forward we are in for a close game and could pinch it.

 

[ShaySwannies]

This was one of the harder games of the round for me to tip. Ultimately, I went for the Tigers. The St. Kilda fatigue factor has been mentioned and that is probably the main factor drawing me into tipping Richmond. Would not surprise me to see the Saints win it.

Excited to see Ricky Petterd in his first game for Richmond though.

Richmond by 17.

 

[bigwilly]

What are your reasons for it not happening?

St Kilda still have Hayes, N Riewoldt, Milne and Dal Santo, if they get going then look out
And Richmond still turns the ball over too much, and as said earlier, kicks too many points

 

[NUFC Tiger]

A lot of people I've talked to have been saying that Tigers will smash St.Kilda. I believe it will be between 1-2 goals

Tend to agree with this - last year we won a thriller by 8 points. Given both teams recorded a few close losses, I'm expecting a rejuvenated St Kilda side looking to bounce back. Should be a decent game - just hope we get the points at the end of it.

Tiges will smash the Saints in the middle though.

 

[Ned_Flanders]

So many will miss this joke. The fact that you are the one making it, makes it all the more beautiful.

already a discussion on our board - be interesting if he is elevated and you win under controversial circumstances if Plugger will still maintain the great umpriing conspiracy exists

 

[Ned_Flanders]

I am really worried about this game

our record against the saints is horrible - 1.5 wins in almost a generation - very worried we will not have our mojo working and will fail to show up tonight

 

[Kim Hagdorn]

Late St Kilda fightback but Richmond prevailing by 13 points.

 

[GarnerSmash]

I and many others fully expect a Tigers win.



So Saints by 23.

 

[underthestars]

Typical 6 day break after an interstate game for the saints. They ran out of legs in that. Richmond with a nine day rest and more confidence have a huge advantage.
Not confident.

You could look at this as a fresh start 1.5 in 2 years

 

[Tiger71]

Richmond By 32

As to why we kick so many points its based unfortunately on our game plan. We are one of the most effective sides in the league in keeping the ball in our forward 50 with our press. Unfortunately we still have young players who are still making the incorrect choice's when they have the ball. Its my hope that mid way through this season it will click and you will notice our scoring will improve dramatically.

Me too, tigers take their foot off the pedal and the saints can easily win.

 

[Ned_Flanders]

I'm a Richmond supporter.

Our last 30 years has made us pessimistic bi-polar manic depressives. Expecting a reaming sans KY is our version of optimism

 

[Soul_Pie]

If Richmond win this it does wonders for their confidence. How long has it been since they won the first two matches of the season?

I'm tipping them, but the Saints' ins are very good.

This could be a defining match for both teams.

 

[Kram]

Tigers by 4 goals.

 

[Vtorians]

Not sure why but Saints by a couple of goals.

 

[funk44]

tigers by 5 goals, plugger to blame the umpires for the loss
