The Southern Saints will be wanting to end their season on a high with a win over Richmond on Sunday in their final match of the season.
ALL THE DETAILS
Where: SkyBus Stadium, Frankston
When: Saturday 25 August
Time:
Conditions: Sunny, with a high of 11 degrees
Form guide:
The Southern Saints (7th, 5-8) failed to match a bigger-bodied Collingwood last week, with the 38-point loss their biggest since Round 10. The Saints were held goalless all afternoon, and coach Peta Searle is desperate for her girls to respond against the Tigers.
Richmond (11th, 3-10) come into the game on the back of a seven-game losing streak. Tom Hunter's side sat out last week with the bye, and the well-rested Tigers will be equally desperate to post one final win before season’s end.
