Richmond Tigers vs St Kilda Saints AFL Round 23 Tips - Saints depth to cover Nas blow
St Kilda Saints, despite losing Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera, are expected to maintain their dominance over the Richmond Tigers in AFL Round 23.

The expert recommendation is to back St Kilda to cover the -22.5 points, with Max Hall projected for a strong performance (25+ disposals, 2+ goals). Richmond’s ongoing injury list and recent form suggest a tough outing, making the Saints the clear favorites.

St Kilda has dominated this matchup in recent seasons, winning eight of the past nine meetings with Richmond. Seven of those victories have come by more than 22.5 points, including a 36-point win when the sides met earlier this season.
St Kilda -22.5 is therefore the preferred match bet. The FootyBets.com.au model projects the Saints to win by 28.4 points, while the secondary projection has them winning 96.2-66.7 for a 29.5-point margin. Richmond has also lost four of its past five matches, with three of those defeats coming by at least 46 points.
Wanganeen-Milera's hamstring injury creates a major hole in St Kilda's midfield and transition game, but Max Hall looks capable of absorbing some of that responsibility. Hall produced 30 disposals and 10 clearances against Carlton after Wanganeen-Milera went down early and should again spend significant time around the ball.
That makes Hall 25+ disposals an appealing player market despite his season average sitting below that mark. He also recorded 26 disposals when these teams met in Round 10.
Hall's increased midfield involvement has not stopped him impacting the scoreboard. He kicked two goals against Carlton and has now recorded 2+ goals in three of his past four matches, making another multiple-goal performance an attractive option against Richmond.

Richmond Tigers Form
Richmond enters Round 23 sitting 17th with a 3-18 record after pushing Adelaide all the way in difficult conditions.
The Tigers led by 13 points during the third quarter before the Crows responded, eventually falling 63-54 at Adelaide Oval. Richmond's competitiveness around the contest was encouraging, but inaccurate kicking again proved costly.

St Kilda Saints Form

St Kilda struggled to contain Carlton's transition game and eventually fell 106-62, leaving its wildcard hopes hanging by a thread.
There were still encouraging performances from players who will now be asked to carry greater responsibility. Bradley Hill collected 31 disposals, while Hall was outstanding with 30 touches, 10 clearances and two goals.
