Tigers debut local gem, burst out of blocks as Saints troubled early in critical clash — LIVE AFL

Richmond is aiming for back-to-back wins as it comes up against a St Kilda side bolstered by the return of its spearhead key forward.

The Tigers will battle the Saints in the second of three Sunday matches to cap the 2024 Gather Round. Adem Yze will blood South Australian product Kane McAuliffe at Norwood Oval as one of four inclusions to the side that beat Sydney on Easter Sunday, also welcoming back superstar Dustin Martin, midfielder Jack Graham and key forward Jacob Koschitzke.Returning from suspension for St Kilda is Max King, who comes into Ross Lyon’s brigade in place of the suspended Marcus Windhager.The Tigers burst out of the blocks with four goals to nil in the first half of the opening quarter.

St Kilda was still goalless halfway through the second quarter with Max King missing one out on the full in a bizarrely low-scoring clash. Jack Higgins finally nabbed St Kilda’s first goal with 30 seconds remaining in the first half, but the Tigers immediately responded through a Jacob Koschitzke post-siren set shot to take a 22-point lead into the main change.
