Less than 10-points separated the sides when they met at the same ground in 2017 and both sides are expecting a tough encounter.

Nhill Tigers coach Tim Bone knows his side will need to cut down on costly turnovers to register a first win while for Saints coach Luke Fisher it is about being patient moving forward.

We will be live tweeting from the ground and use #WimmeraFooty to get involved in the conversation.

Full match reports from round one will be available online after the matches, and in Monday’s edition of the Mail-Times.
