Oh, and here we go! Gearing up for a scintillating matchup between the Richmond Tigers and Gold Coast Suns. Looking at the recent data and giving it a good ol’ squint, it appears this might be just as exciting as watching paint dry.
The Suns have been out there making hay while the sun shines – quite literally. They’ve been basking in a seemingly endless winning streak, holding a pristine 4-0 record this season. It's like they've got cheat codes or something. On the flip side, the Tigers have been coughing up victories like a cat with a furball problem, staggering around with a 1-4 record.
Going down memory lane, if we dare, the Suns had a ball in their past three outings against the Tigers. They were raining points like a mischievous kid with a super soaker. But hey, hope springs eternal, right? Even if the Tigers are perennially trapped in a cruel Spring with winter-like weather.
The Suns, perched high at #2 in the standings, have been playing like someone’s just informed them they’ve won the lottery. Lording it over here, and lording it over there. Whereas, the Tigers, hiding in shame at #16 and moving like they spent the night sleeping in a doghouse, look like they're just waiting for the season's merciful end.
I know, I know, in sports, wonders never cease. But if the Tigers manage to pull off a win here, I'd recommend checking if there's a blue moon out tonight. My money--hypothetically speaking of course since I'm just a talking head--lies with the Suns.
So, without further ado, I'm predicting not just a win but a rollicking run for the Gold Coast Suns.
