-
Worth a few $$ on the Suns given we haven't won out of Melbourne so far this year
-
I can still remember similar odds in our first encounter and we lost that. We should win this comfortably but stranger things have happened.
-
Motivation might be a problem. 1 good quarter should kill this contest.
-
Sydney had one good quarter against them.... :shh
-
Surely the minor premiership is enough motivation.
-
Weather looks good, hope we don't melt in the warmer weather :rollin
Forecast is for around 23o
Should be good road trip. :clapping
My niece is coming to the game with me. "it's our thing" she told me ;D

Match preview: Gold Coast v Richmond
SUMMARY
This game has the potential to get very, very ugly. Richmond is the reigning premier and has shown no sign of slowing down this year, currently on top of the ladder and heading for the minor premiership, while the Suns are floundering in 17th spot and fresh off losing to bottom team Carlton and being flogged by Melbourne in the past fortnight. The Tigers have built their game on pressure, and even if it's not at peak levels against the Suns, it's hard to see how Gold Coast can get anywhere near their opponents. Jack Riewoldt is playing the best footy of his career, and his match-up with Suns skipper Steven May should be a good one, but the Tigers have far too much depth and far too much run in their midfield. Aside from stars Dustin Martin and Trent Cotchin, the likes of Kane Lambert, Shane Edwards and former Sun Josh Caddy are having excellent seasons. The only glimmer of hope for the hosts is their upset of Sydney just three matches ago, but it's hard to see this match being anything but one-way traffic.

LAST FIVE MEETINGS
R19, 2017, Richmond 14.14 (98) d Gold Coast 10.5 (65) at Metricon Stadium
R12, 2016, Richmond 17.12 (114) d Gold Coast 15.7 (97) at the MCG
R20, 2015, Richmond 22.6 (138) d Gold Coast 8.7 (55) at the MCG
R1, 2014, Gold Coast 12.15 (87) d Richmond 10.9 (69) at Metricon Stadium
R16, 2013, Richmond 6.17 (53) d Gold Coast 6.8 (44) at Cazalys Stadium
THE SIX POINTS
1. Dustin Martin was the star the last time these teams played with 34 disposals, one goal and seven clearances. Aaron Hall had 40 touches and 10 inside 50s for the Suns.
2. There is a big difference between the sides in scoring this season; Richmond is ranked second kicking a total of 265 goals and Gold Coast last with just 158.
3. This is the eighth meeting between the clubs and Richmond holds a narrow 4-3 advantage. The Tigers have won the past three matches but are yet to win from four interstate games in 2018.
4. One possible advantage for Gold Coast could be tackling, ranked second with an average of 71.5 a game. Richmond is ranked 13th with 63.1 a game.
5. It will be a contest between the best final-quarter team this season and the worst. The Tigers are ranked first with plus-222 points and the Suns last with minus-264 points.
6. Kane Lambert's rise continued last week with 31 disposals against Geelong. The Richmond midfielder has reached a career-high 48th overall in the Schick AFL Player Ratings.
IT’S A BIG WEEK FOR …
After missing the loss against Melbourne through suspension and also seeing fellow co-captain Tom Lynch announce he wanted to leave last week, Steven May needs to lead from the front. He should man Jack Riewoldt – possibly the best forward in the game – and take the challenge to show his teammates he means business.
PREDICTION: Richmond by 80 points
http://www.afl.com.au/match-centre/2018/21/gcfc-v-rich
-
Guarantee the margin won't get anywhere near 80 points. More likely 5 to 6 goals max. We will be in cruise mode I expect.

Being a day game, weather should be superb this year. Anything like last weekend and it will be 24 deg, sunny, at about 2pm. Not too hot in the sun. Great watching conditions with a nice cold beverage.

That's our average winter temp and no humidity means its very comfortable. Perhaps not for Victorians though ;)

"They've had four interstate trips this year and haven't won yet," young Gold Coast forward Brayden Crossley said on Friday.

Just going through the motions so far. Lifting when we need to then easing off.

Houli and McIntosh will be very lucky to keep their spots next week and for finals. Give Houli the benefit of the doubt I guess

Good strong spoil by Floss. Goes 30m and he runs on and gathers it to Caddy. Grigg now to grimes 70 out and Higgins marks. Goes to Jack on his head and Jack marks 40 out on a tight angle.

-
Here we go. Rioli to Higgins to Jack.
GOT IT with seconds to go :gotigers :woohoo

Hardwick not looking happy with our effort last few minutes. Could have really went the kill today but switched off in patches. Will take a 74 point win.
Well played Jack. 10 goals...

Excellent win and no injuries
-
Half the side has 20+ possies :o.
-
Jacks leading the Coleman lol
-
We still have a heap of improvement. We lost centre clearances which was one stat we used to dominate but we allow teams to win this which I think is a stupid idea. Win clearance and then win the ball in the f50 and lock it in is what we should be doing.
We aren’t tackling as ferocious as last year.
And my pet hate we are still very wayward when kicking inside f50. Today was better especially in the first quarter but we have a long way to go and heaps of improvement. If we can get that right no team will even get close.
Well done Jack. :cheers

Gold Coast's almost comical ineptness flattered to deceive.....very scrappy effort....played like millionaires at times....pull that crap next week and Essendon are huge chance.... :shh
