Live: Tigers–Saints starts big day of footy, ahead of Q-Clash, Hawks–Pies

live AFL Rd 23 live updates: Richmond vs St Kilda, North Melbourne vs Geelong, Brisbane vs Gold Coast, Hawthorn vs Collingwood, Port Adelaide vs Melbourne — blog, scores and stats Richmond vs St Kilda kicks off a huge Saturday of football, before the Q-Clash in Brisbane and tonight's Hawthorn–Collingwood blockbuster at the MCG. There are five games on the schedule, beginning with the Tigers hosting the Saints at the MCG in a must-win game for Ross Lyon's men — without superstar Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera — if they are to keep their top-10 chances alive. North Melbourne faces Geelong at Docklands, then the Suns try to spoil the Lions' top-four plans when they meet in the Q-Clash at the Gabba. Tonight we're back at the MCG for a Saturday night blockbuster as Hawthorn takes on Collingwood, and Port Adelaide hosts Melbourne in Adelaide. Follow all the action in our live blog.

They trail Carlton by two games, and if the Blues beat the Bulldogs tomorrow, then that will be that and the top-10 is set. But if the Saints win here, and the Blues lose tomorrow, it will come down to the final round, where St Kilda hosts Gold Coast at Docklands, and Carlton plays Fremantle (also at Docklands). So no pressure ... but the Saints HAVE to win today, and they have to do it without a heap of their top players. Richmond is in 17th spot on the ladder, but the Tigers came close to knocking off the Crows in Adelaide last week, and they beat West Coast the week before. The Saints will no doubt want to put their foot down early and create a big break and not let the Tigers think they are in with a sniff. The longer this game goes and Richmond is in range, the bigger the chance of an upset. Teams are in for Tigers vs Saints There are no late changes to either side, and you can catch up with both line-ups above. To be fair, both teams have made plenty of changes already from last week's lists. Richmond only have two new faces from last week against the Crows. Samson Ryan and Tyler Sonsie are omitted. In come Harry Armstrong and Luke Trainor. For the Saints, it's a little different. Mason Wood is out with a calf strain, and Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera has the most high-profile hamstring strain in the league right now. In addition, Liam Ryan and Hunter Clark are managed, while Anthony Caminiti is omitted. The ins? Glad you asked — Angus Hastie, Dan Butler, Jack Macrae, Tobie Travaglia and Alix Tauru (the Flying Viking) who took a rake of marks in the VFL last weekend. Key Event Welcome to Saturday footy Hello, good afternoon and welcome to ABC's live online coverage of round 23 of the AFL. We're coming towards the close of the home-and-away season, and we have five games on a big footy Saturday, starting with Richmond vs St Kilda at the MCG. Later we'll have North Melbourne taking on Geelong at Docklands, and then around quarter time there we'll have the start of the Q-Clash between the Lions and the Suns at the Gabba. Tonight, we're back at the MCG for a proper blockbuster, with Hawthorn taking on Collingwood as the Hawks try to secure their top-four status for September and the Pies try to keep their chances of an automatic spot in the finals alive. Finally, we'll have another overlapping game in Adelaide, as Port Adelaide host the Demons. My name is Andrew McGarry and I'm delighted to be bringing you the early action on today's slate - later on, I'll be joined by my friend and colleague Chris De Silva, who will take you through the night's festivities.
