Gold Coast really believe that they can win this one, their desperate to get Ablett into the game. We are a side that they think they can take down because of mental and physical weaknesses. We are going to have to be right on the ball to win this one, lets hope the coaching staff have the side primed and ready for action. This is a must win game for us, no excuses.

Is it bad to hope that Ablett does a career threatening injury if they do rush him back in, thinking that they have to throw everything at us, and presuming we are easybeats?

That's funny. I don't think Posty is in Cairns.

Hell no soldier.

That thought is your Tiger Birthright.

Although it will be Richmond's home game, Harbrow is hopeful the majority of locals will turn out in Gold Coast colours.

"The contract [to three games in the area] that we've got with Richmond for the next three years is massive for Cairns and Far North Queensland," he said.

"It's only going to expand the game. It means everything. I'd love to play up here as often as I can."

The weather forecast for the game is for isolated thunderstorms and a maximum temperature of 26 degrees, but Harbrow doesn't believe his team will gain any advantage over the Tigers who have been playing and training in the cold Melbourne winter.

Gold Coast skipper Gary Ablett will lead the team against Richmond after passing his final fitness test on Friday.

Tigers warm up for Suns with heat chamber

Richmond have used a heat chamber in an attempt to avoid a second half fade-out in their historic AFL clash with Gold Coast in Cairns on Saturday.

Richmond's rebounding half back Brett Deledio said the side used the heat chamber at least six times in the past fortnight to try to acclimatise to the warmer than usual winter playing conditions.

The Bureau of Meteorology is predicting a high of 26 and showers in Cairns on Saturday, which is 10 degrees warmer than Melbourne where the Tigers are based.

Deledio said the Tigers' training program has centered around aerobic work and has been slightly more intense than the lead-up to their 15-point loss to Port Adelaide in the stifling Darwin humidity in May.

On that occasion, the Tigers led by nine points at halftime, but faded in the final two quarters and were outscored six goals to 10 by the lowly Power.

The loss was put down to Port's ability to handle the extreme conditions much better.

"We've spent probably three sessions this week in the heat chamber and last week as well, to try and get ready for the different climate," Deledio told reporters on Friday.

"It's to get used to the humidity and we were on the (training) bikes.

"We had one twenty minute session and two thirty minute sessions (each week).

There have been pre-season AFL matches played at Cazaly Stadium over the past decade, but the Tigers-Suns clash is the first for premiership points.

Richmond have committed to playing one home game against the Suns at the venue until 2013.

The financially stricken club has been criticised for giving up their distinct home ground advantage and transferring games to Darwin and Cairns, especially after they lost to the Power.

Deledio said the Tigers had not only learned from the loss to Port Adelaide but needed to avenge their last quarter capitulation to Essendon last week.

"We were in the game up until three quarter time and we didn't fight it out," he said.

"You have to learn from your mistakes but we did a lot right for three quarters."

All about tigers in paper up here. Pretty overcast this morning, shouldn't affect game too much.
Had kick on ground yesterday, nice surface but very spongy
Would advice not too much bouncing and if balls short will skid though, even more so if light shower
Which is possible.
Anyway we will toast this mob on the ground just like we have
In the media up here!
GO TIGERS

No scrappy 15-25 point wins for me. Either win by 10goals or lose to keep it real and in perspective.
