Jack Ross was a late out for the Tigers, replaced by Thomson Dow in the starting 22. The malaise that seemed to be afflicting the Suns in the second quarter remained to start the third term, with a goal to Jack Graham in the opening minute-and-a-half. Richmond steadied after that despite missing several chances in front of goal, with a Jack Riewoldt major getting them back out to a 28-point lead at the final change. Jake Aarts kicked one against the run of play for the Tigers, but it was met with a goal to Hewago Paul Oea at the other end. A great goal from Jack Riewoldt made the margin 32 points and the Suns were lucky to enter half-time only trailing by 34 points given the gettable opportunities missed by the Tigers throughout the quarter. Nick Holman was the first to hit the scoreboard, kicking a goal in the opening couple of minutes of an evenly-matched contest.
Richmond will be looking to shore up their top 8 spot vs the much improved Gold Coast Suns as they head north to Metricon Stadium this week.
There's no better time for Gold Coast than to start with a win here. After Gold Coast vs Richmond, you could watch live the F1 or NRL, among others. Back-to-back losses by less than a goal have crippled those chances, but victory this week vs Richmond does give Gold Coast a faint pulse.
The Gold Coast Suns have come from the clouds to pinch the four points from Richmond with a Noah Anderson after the siren goal sealing the victory.
Kudos to @GoldCoastSUNSthey never gave up and played great but brain explosions all over for the Tigers #AFLSunsTigers July 9, 2022 Sending the Suns and footy fans into bedlam. Maurice Rioli and Jake Aarts also missed gettable shots in the final term.

Losing power forward Tom Lynch to a hamstring strain midway through the first quarter was not a great start for the Tigers. However, it did unleash Noah Cumberland into an unlikely role of medi-sub hero. He kicked one goal from a perfectly timed front-and-square in the first quarter and then added two in the second – one from a clever one-handed mark. While Anderson deserves the headlines for his breathtaking finish, Charlie Ballard will get just as many plaudits from his teammates for a final quarter smother that might have saved the day. Bolton was clearly the difference between the teams and his 29 disposals and 3.3 tells only part of the story, with his spectacular leaping and cat-like landings as exciting as anything this season. Touk Miller was marvellous for the victors, finishing with 27 disposals, 13 clearances and a goal, while Ben Ainsworth (26 and two goals) and Anderson (26 and two) also had huge impacts. The Suns trailed by 40 points in the third quarter and 28 at the last change, but a furious final quarter charge saw them snatch a 14.10 (94) to 13.14 (92) victory.

Chol made up for that miss, soccering through his third from close range when the ball fell to him in the goal square to cut the margin to four points with a minute to play. Ainsworth had the chance to cut the margin to under a kick with two and a half minutes to play but sprayed his set shot to the right. The Suns went bang-bang to start the fourth quarter with goals to David Swallow and Noah Anderson before Riewoldt kicked a wonderful finish with the outside of his right foot from the pocket to again halt the home team's momentum. Ex-Tiger Mabior Chol scored with a minute to play to get the Suns within a goal and it was Anderson who got the ball as the clock wound down after a smart pass from Sam Day.

That lead was extended to a match-high 28 points in the third term before the Magpies inevitably hit back with two goals, but the Kangaroos steadied to lead by 26 at three-quarter time. Ainsworth had the chance to cut the margin to under a kick with two and a half minutes to play but sprayed his set shot to the right. St Kilda could have moved into the top eight with a win but was left to rue a missed opportunity despite the best efforts of Zak Jones (27 disposals, six clearances), Brad Crouch (30, seven), Jack Steele (28, four) and Brad Hill (28, four). Chol made up for that miss, soccering through his third from close range when the ball fell to him in the goal square to cut the margin to four points with a minute to play. But the Dockers hung in and trailed by just eight points at the main break before flipping the contest on its head with the first six goals of the second half. Goals to Day and Matt Rowell either side of Castagna's miss with the goal at his mercy cut the margin to 11 points with less than four minutes to play. The Suns started the fourth quarter with goals to David Swallow and Anderson, before Riewoldt kicked a wonderful finish with the outside of his right foot from the pocket to again halt the home team's momentum. A free kick against Jack Bowes presented Aarts with a chance to score and he stopped the rot with a good finish for the Tigers. Chol booted his second to make it three in a row and cut the margin to 20 points. Trailling by 34 points after an underwhelming first half, Gold Coast responded with a better effort in the third term, with goals to Ainsworth and Touk Miller sparking some hope of a fightback. Ex-Tiger Mabior Chol scored with a minute to play to get the Suns within a goal and it was Anderson who got the ball as the clock wound down after a smart pass from Sam Day. Down by 40 points early in the third quarter, and 28 at the final turn, Anderson's ice-cold finish secured a 14.10 (94) to 13.14 (92) victory that keeps the Suns' hopes of a finals berth alive.
Noah Anderson lived the boyhood dream, his shot after the siren lifting the Suns over the Tigers. Jimmy Day looks in the Analyst's Corner.
He and Bolton were key to the Tigers’ lead in the first half. Tom Lynch going down in the first quarter with looked like a hamstring niggle certainly changed the complexion of this game. However, in two last-quarter moments he instances he would probably not like to see again, Grimes spilt marks he would normally take in the defensive 50. Grimes is a stalwart of the defence and I expect he will bounce back. This time, it kept the Suns in with a slim chance of popping their finals cherry, while putting Richmond in a grey zone, still in danger of falling out. While, to the letter of the law, they were inside the nine and there was a modicum of pressure, both could have cleared the ball and, had they taken the ball over the boundary line, it would likely have been deemed insufficient intent. The footy world has wondered whether or not the Suns could take the step into finals, or whether they were destined to be the DC Comics cinematic universe … over promise and under deliver when it matters – and be stuck in the shadow of the superior movie studios. He was immense and brought teammates like Ben Ainsworth and Noah Anderson along with him to change the momentum and guide their team to a monumental win! When the game was on the line in the last quarter, Robbie Tarrant became a one-man band in the back half. While few people can boast the ability to impact a game like Dusty, the Tigers, regardless of whether Dusty stays or goes, have a bonafide star to fill the void in Shai Bolton. Would we see a repeat of Karmichael Hunt’s heroics or will the Tigers entrench themselves in the top four and finally quash the finals dreams for this Suns side in 2022? As Stuart Dew was finally rewarded for bringing this Gold Coast list together with a contract extension, the Suns hosted the Tigers who were trying to stay fixed in the eight, their sights set on sneaking into the top four.
