Richmond has overcome a spirited St Kilda at Windy Hill, holding off a mid-game fight back to win 9.4 (58) to 6.7 (43) on Sunday afternoon.

After a slow start, the Saints worked themselves back into the contest throughout the second and third quarters, but the Tigers steadied when it mattered and held off the challenges, continuing their alternating win-loss pattern of results in the 2026 season.

Jade McLay had a breakout game for St Kilda. Playing in just her third match, McLay had Saints fans jumping out of their seats after kicking three goals in quick succession to open the second quarter, before finishing with a game-high four goals.

Zoe Besanko and Jesse Tawhiao-Wardlaw had their colours lowered by Poppy Kelly and Gabby Seymour in the ruck, losing the hitouts 39 to 17. But St Kilda’s midfield fought hard, only losing the clearance count by five.

However, the red, black, and white couldn’t stop the dynamic duo of Isabel Bacon and Ellie McKenzie, who combined for 40 disposals, 20 contested possessions, 10 tackles, 10 clearances, and eight inside-50s.

The ball lived in Richmond’s half of the ground in the first quarter, with the home side racking up 14 inside-50s to three. The Tigers were helped by St Kilda almost exclusively moving the ball down the far wing in a slow, deliberate manner in the early stages of the quarter, allowing Richmond to outnumber Tawhiao-Wardlaw in the air and win the ball back at ground level on multiple occasions.

Seymour kicked the first major of the afternoon – and her first goal since Round 1, 2022 – with the Tigers co-captain converting from distance after receiving a free kick for a block in a ruck contest. Katie Brennan kicked Richmond’s second shortly after, floating across the front of a pack inside-50 to take a solid contested mark.

But the Saints fired back as the quarter wore on, attempting to put more speed on the ball and getting on the board through Ashleigh Richard’s smart finish from a tight angle in the pocket.

McLay was a dominant force early in the second, kicking the first three goals of her career before the 10-minute mark of the quarter. The 19-year-old walked off the ground minutes later though, after coming off second best in a bone-crunching contest and did not return until after half-time. 

Teammate Olivia Vesely was less fortunate, ruled out with an ankle injury during the half-time break. The 26-year-old left the field in the closing stages of the second term after collecting six disposals and two clearances. Vesely was later spotted sporting a moonboot when she emerged from the rooms in the third quarter. 

Momentum swung back Richmond’s way after McLay left the field, with Charli Wicksteed, Seymour, and Bacon kicking the last three goals of the term to restore the Tigers’ two goal lead at the main break. 

After a quiet first half, Tawhiao-Wardlaw got St Kilda back within a kick in the early stages of the third, the key forward splitting the middle from a set shot courtesy of a clean chest mark. 

The Saints appeared much more settled defensively following the long break, holding the Tigers to five inside-50s. They applied great tackle pressure in their back half, running Richmond players down repeatedly to win free kicks for holding the ball.

Jaimee Lambert kept busy in the third, picking up six disposals, four contested possessions, two tackles, and two clearances.

Emelia Yassir goaled in the 14th minute of the quarter, her second for the match, to give the Tigers some breathing room heading into the final change. St Kilda had gotten the deficit back to 10 points, winning just its third quarter for the season.

The final term was a tussle, with neither team able to establish dominance. Richmond were rewarded for its hard work through goals to Brennan and Olivia Wolmarans, and although McLay found her fourth goal in stoppage time, changing the result was out of reach.

Youth meets experience in the Richmond midfield
With superstar Mon Conti still sidelined with Achilles soreness, third-year player Isabel Bacon and returning co-captain Ellie McKenzie got to work in the middle of the ground. Bacon backed up her strong performance against Fremantle last week with 20 disposals, seven tackles, four clearances, and a goal, while McKenzie, on return from a broken arm in the pre-season, slotted back in beautifully with 20 of her own, 11 contested possessions, and six clearances. McKenzie, playing in her 50th game, donned a guard on her left forearm but did not seem hampered.

Richmond travels to Corroboree Group Oval in Canberra to play the Greater Western Sydney in the early game on Sunday, looking to record back-to-back victories for the first time this season.
