It’s the battle of the cellar-dwellers and the loser of this match would surely become a shoo-in for the wooden spoon.
The Tiger Army will be ruing their club’s season so far, with their side going from September challengers to a shambles within nine months.
The Saints go into the match coming off eight consecutive defeats but will welcome back the experienced Leigh Montagna back into the side, and their confidence will be boosted after a spirited performance against West Coast last week.
Both sides will be desperate to gain respect and it may come to down to a Riewoldt v. Riewoldt affair to decide the winner of a match both sides will be doing anything to win.

1. Richmond defeated St Kilda by 64 points the last time the sides met with Trent Cotchin picking up three Brownlow votes. Jack Riewoldt and Dan Jackson kicked three goals each.
