ROUND 10

Richmond @ St. Kilda
ML - SAINTS (x2) LOSS

The Saints are quietly moving along nicely sitting 5-4 with wins over Carlton and Sydney in the past 3 weeks impressive. But its the Tigers who are catching all the headlines of late, especially after demoralizing the Hawks last week. Still they are just 4-5 all be it against some tough opposition. But no they have to deal with something very unusual for the Tigers, expectation. They are now expected to win and have gone from the hunter to the hunted.

The Saints are Richmond's bogey team, no question. The last Richmond win over the Saints was way back in 2003! the did manage a draw at the G last year but here at Etihad the Saints have won their past 11 straight over the Tigers! St.kilda has an outstanding record here under the roof and the Tigers simply do not! If this was played at the MCG it would be a completely different story.

I cannot go past those figures alone, but like I said earlier the Tigers are now dealing with this expectation that is foreign to them. Coming off such a high last week could see a let down tonight against the unheralded Saints. Take St.Kilda SU tonight.
