Gold Coast Suns vs Richmond Tigers Preview

A new chapter begins on the Gold Coast as Damien Hardwick takes the reins at the Suns after a six-month break following his departure from the Tigers, where he spent 14 successful years.

In their previous encounter, a thrilling finish saw Noah Anderson’s last-minute kick decide the outcome.

Meanwhile, the Tigers are transitioning into a new era, bidding farewell to premiership stalwarts Riewoldt and Cotchin. As they embark on rebuilding their roster, they aim to remain competitive for years to come.

Despite the changes, the Tigers still boast formidable firepower with Martin, Prestia, Baker, McIntosh, and Shai Bolton leading the charge.

On the other hand, the Suns’ young core comprising Rowell, Anderson, Lukosius, and King has showcased their star quality. However, questions linger regarding their performance under pressure.

Both teams have had underwhelming pre-season showings, making it challenging to gauge their form heading into the match.

Known for their adaptability to Gold Coast conditions, coupled with their recent dominance over the Tigers with three consecutive wins, the Suns are poised to extend their streak to four.

With the teams evenly matched, could this clash be dubbed the Damien Hardwick Cup?

Gold Coast go into the game as the red hot favourites with leading betting apps at $1.46 ahead of the Tigers who are outsiders in the market at $2.75.
