Preview:
The Tigers did their best to keep things interesting last week against the Saints, but in the end, Richmond stormed home in the final quarter to win comfortably by 33-points.
Gold Coast also kept things close against the Swans, trailing by only four points at half time before fading in the fourth quarter.
The Suns now head back to Metricon for the first time in over a month, but their track record against the Tigers at home is less than impressive.
In their last two meetings on the Gold Coast, the Tigers have won by an average margin of 53.5 points. The Suns have also won only one of their three games against Richmond at Metricon, all the way back in 2014.
Stuart Dew’s side continues to show up for the contest in the first half, but it’s the third quarter that troubles the Suns.
Gold Coast has won only four of their 14 third terms this year, compared to the Tigers, who are 7-7.
There’s every chance the Suns put a scare into the Tigers on Saturday, which makes their 5-4 record as the line underdog appear safe. Considering the Suns rank dead last in goals scored though, just don’t expect much else.
