The Richmond Tigers are left winless again as the St Kilda girls powered on to their second win of their 2020 campaign. Held at an empty Moorabbin – something we are now unfamiliar with, the Saints stormed home as 39-point victors, adding to coach Peta Searle’s first year record. It was disappointing without fans, but the Saints played to their strengths and exited the ground thanking the fans they wished were present!
SAINTS SIZZLE TIGERS THROUGH THE MIDFIELD
The St Kilda midfield were prepared to chase and harass all day, even with their late comfortable lead. When they had the footy, their run and spread was unmatched, running the young Tigers side off their legs in the end.
Leading the clearances 26 to 11 in the third term, the Saints finished off the game dominating, with 31 clearances to 16.
Former AFL player Farren Ray, who is coaching the Saints midfield, should be congratulated for helping his girls to their second win of their 2020 season, pushing his troops to make space, reach and impact every contest for four quarters. Liv Vesely was again impactful, collecting 16 disposals for the young brigade.
Saints Claudia Whitfort and Rosie Dillon have rapidly become key contributors through the middle and will hopefully help the Saints build on this win for the rest of their season.
The Saints ended with 106 contested possessions to the Tigers’ 81.
