Richmond Tigers vs Gold Coast Suns AFL 2025 Round 6 FAQ’s

The Suns have dominated in 3 of their 4 games so far this season with an average winning margin of 65 points in the 3 games that weren’t the 1 pt win over the Crows. Given the opposition weren’t great, but neither are the Tigers who are coming off 4 straight losses with an average losing margin of 60 points.

Gold Coast have been able to move the ball forward at will against their opponents thus far this season. They lead the league in Inside 50’s with 64 per game, 11 more than the league Average. The Tigers are allowing opponents 60 forward entries per game, 2nd most in the AFL which does not bode well for the scoreboard attendant at Marvel Stadium.

The Suns are also leading or near the top in Scoring Shots inside 50 as well as accuracy in front of goal. My expectation is that Richmond will once again keep the game close through the first quarter or two but will then not be able to hang with the pace of the Suns’ midfield and the size in their forward line.

Take Gold Coast to cover the large line and go Over their Team Total. We will also look to play Ben King goal ladders and Noah Anderson disposals over.

The Suns are 3-1 ATS this season while Richmond are 2-3.
Gold Coast have won 5 straight and covered in 6 straight vs Tigers.
Ben King is averaging 4.3 goals per game this season and kicked 5 vs Tigers in Opening Round last season.
Noah Anderson is averaging 30.5 disposals and had 30 and 25 in two games vs Richmond last season.

Head to Head

Gold Coast have won 5 straight games against Richmond with the Tigers most recent wins against the high flying Suns being the lone matchups in the 2019 and 2020 seasons.

Both games last season and all others save for the 2019 Tigers win have been kept in the 1-39 margin range. 5 of the last 7 have gone Under the Game Total with lack of scoring being key points for the losing team in all 5 games.

The Tigers were in the game for the first half of their matchup vs Fremantle last weekend at Gather Round. But after the main break, the wheels fell well and truly off the bus as a 10 point deficit ballooned out to 61 by the end of the game.

Kamdyn MacIntosh did well in the early part of the game to disrupt the Fremantle midfield with a tagging role on Caleb Serong. Mo Rioli also did his bit kicking 2 goals in the clash but the Tigers could not keep up with their opponent once the pressure and pace picked up in the 3rd and 4th quarters, scoring just 8 points compared to their 39 in the first two terms.

Defensively they had no answer for Josh Treacy who took 8 marks and kicked 6 goals in the contest. Despite Jacob Hopper leading all disposal getters and Tim Taranto also pitching in, it wasn’t enough for the Tigers who were found out across multiple positions around the park.

Richmond Tigers Team News

Sam Lalor is a chance to return if he passes a fitness test. Noah Balta is a puzzle piece that the Tigers don’t seem to want to touch right now but could add on field momentum for a team severely lacking toward the end of games. Kane MacAuliffe is also a test while Judson Clarke is at least another week away.

What a difference this Gold Coast team is under the coaching of Damien Hardwick. They were the surprise packet of the season last year, dominating teams at home on the Gold Coast but had trouble backing that up on the road. Another pre-season under their belt and they sit 2nd on the ladder, yet to taste defeat despite playing 3 of 4 games away from home.

The Suns led at every change in their Gather Round game against the Kangaroos but it was in the final term that they pushed down on the accelerator to push the score out to a final 141-89 score, winning by 52 points in the Barossa.

They have scored 120+ points in 3 of their 4 games played with Ben King averaging 4.3 goals per game despite having a 65% accuracy rate.

Important to note that 3 of the 4 opponents that Gold Coast have played are all but guaranteed to not make the top 8 this season.

Connor Buderick is likely to return to the team after a week off nursing a rib injury. No other major changes expected for a team that is relatively healthy.
