Summary On the one hand, Richmond showed with last week's sizzling win over Melbourne they are a much better side with brilliant forward Nathan Brown back. On the other hand they now take on a side which caused one of the most impressive upsets of the year - beating West Coast at Subiaco last week. St Kilda was helped by a sudden return to form by forward Justin Koschitzke - but as quickly as he reappeared he vanished - nobbled for the next fortnight at least with a hamstring strain. In the middle through Shane Tuck, Nathan Foley and Daniel Jackson and in the backline through Graham Polak, the Tigers were unbeatable last week - but the Demons were woeful. St Kilda should be inspired now to go on with the job for the second half of the season. A one-win Richmond side, even with Brown, will be determined but may not find the job so easy this time around.
Key Richmond's attitude will be crucial. After waiting all season for a win, will they succumb to a let-down or will it be enough to carry them to a second straight victory?
