The Richmond Tigers will host the St Kilda Saints at Marvel Stadium this Sunday afternoon in what could only be regarded as the secondary draw to the earlier clash at the MCG.
The Tigers' miserable season continued in Round 21, when they dropped their seventh consecutive game to the Kangaroos. With the setback, they are currently four points below the Kangaroos at the bottom of the AFL table and risk picking up their first wooden spoon since the 2007 season.
The Saints have a history of catching opponents when they have additional motivation, and Dustin Martin's retirement should undoubtedly give the Tigers an extra boost.
Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch Richmond vs St Kilda in the AFL, plus plenty more.
