Richmond Tigers vs Gold Coast Suns Preview
One of the few dead-rubbers in the final round with not so much thrill, the Suns and Tigers will look to put disappointing seasons to rest at the G.
Richmond will formally farewell Dusty, which is fitting as Damien Hardwick rolls into town with his Suns side.
Its the Suns first game at the MCG all year, and they havent played the Tigers there since 2016.
Richmond starting 30 minutes after North Melbourne makes a big difference in this game, as the number one draft pick watch is truly on.
Despite their lack of success this season, the Tigers are well and truly a chance in this clash, given the Suns inability to perform away from home.
If the Roos are getting smashed, theyre probably unlikely to show much fight, in case winning jumps them above the Roos on percentage.
Otherwise, theyll be able to hurt the Suns in transition, but ultimately the class is well in favour of the Suns.
If the Suns can get a hold of the centre stoppages, its hard to see the Tigers combatting so many inside 50 entries, but theyll likely give it a good crack.
