Round 22 of the 2025 Australian Football League season will see the Richmond Tigers take on St Kilda on Friday at the MCG.
Richmond have been horrendously bad this season as they sit all the way in 16th on the AFL ladder heading into Round 22, as they have suffered 15 losses through their opening 18 games. They brought an end to their seven-game losing streak with wins over Essendon and the West Coast Eagles but suffered a debilitating 107-23 loss to the Suns last weekend.
With a record of five wins and four defeats after nine games, St Kilda made a respectable start to their season. However, they have lost eight of their past 11 games and are presently in 14th place on the ladder, which has seriously hampered their prospects of making it to the Top Eight.
