Live: Tigers–Saints starts big day of footy, ahead of Q-Clash, Hawks–Pies

Richmond vs St Kilda starts a busy Saturday of AFL football, leading up to the Q-Clash in Brisbane and tonight's Hawthorn–Collingwood showdown at the MCG. The Tigers, without star player Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera, take on the Saints in a crucial game that could secure their top-10 position. Five games are scheduled for the day, beginning with Richmond hosting St Kilda at the MCG.

Early in the match, Richmond struggled to find their rhythm, with a series of errors and turnovers. St Kilda showed promise with Bradley Hill amassing 15 touches in the first quarter, but the game soon devolved into a turnover fest. Richmond managed to score their opening goal with a clean mark from Mitch Owens, who also converted the kick.

The Saints, trailing by points, managed to score a goal from Max Hall just inside the 50-meter line. Despite the challenges on both sides, the game shows signs of potential for an upset, given the stakes involved for both teams.
