.Richardson said they needed to address their propensity to suffer big losses, with particular emphasis on their travels outside Victoria.
"We know we need to do that quite substantially, really, our percentage (95.7) would reflect that last year, we've still got a fair bit of work to do," he said.
"A couple of those (interstate games) were disappointing performances against good teams, but we would hope that we are much more competitive this year.
"I'll be trying to keep the trip as close as possible to what it (player preparation) looks like with respect to what we do in Melbourne."
St Kilda's first match of the season is against Melbourne – another team widely expected to improve in 2017 and possibly qualify for finals.
But rather than play down the significance of the opening-round encounter, Richardson has embraced the excitement and admitted the team would get confidence from beating a similarly positioned team such as the Demons
