The 2025 AFL season's Round 21 match sees the Gold Coast Suns face off against the Richmond Tigers on Saturday evening at the People First Stadium.
The Suns have a 12-6 record and are within the finals spots, but they will hope to push further up the ladder into the top four for a double chance. They have been largely consistent this season, with five of their six defeats coming against top-four contenders.
Their only other defeat? Against their next opponents, the Tigers.
The Tigers have performed better than expected this season despite only a 5-14 record. They have won two of their last three games, including a brave display in their 57-93 loss to the ladder-toppers Collingwood.
Richmond have a great opportunity to do the double over Gold Coast whom they beat 80-69 earlier in the season.
