Cue a halt to play as a groundsman races out in his work boots with sand in a paint bucket to fill it. The Bombers started nicely, holding an early seven-point lead after 20 minutes before the Swans responded. They now lead by five points<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4.43pm<\/p>\n Quarter-time stats – Suns v Tigers<\/p>\n 4.41pm<\/p>\n QT: Gold Coast 4.1 (25) to Richmond 0.1 (1)<\/p>\n Ben King has two goals and the Suns are firing at People First Stadium.<\/p>\n The Tigers defence, led by Nick Vlautin and Ben Millar have been as strong as they can in the face of repeated attacks while James Trezise has found plenty of the footy for the Tigers.<\/p>\n James Trezise of the Tigers in action.Credit: AFL Photos via Getty Images<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4.38pm<\/p>\n Ginnivan fined for bird flip<\/p>\n Hawks star Jack Ginnivan has joined the AFL\u2019s middle finger fine club after receiving a $1500 fine ($1000 early plea) for an obscene gesture after he flipped his middle finger at some fans at Adelaide Oval last night.<\/p>\n He didn\u2019t give the double bird like Bailey Smith did earlier in 2025 but he flipped them off with feeling nonetheless. <\/p>\n Teammate Jai Newcombe was also fined $1500 ($1000 early plea) for contact with an umpire. <\/p>\n Both acts were first offences.<\/p>\n Jack Ginnivan of the Hawks gives a finger to Crows fans as the Hawks walk off in defeat.Credit: AFL Photos via Getty Images<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4.33pm<\/p>\n Suns are well away now<\/p>\n Ben King marked in the right pocket and nailed his shot as well – this has been a superb start from the Suns against a Tigers team who are battling hard, just don\u2019t have the skill and talent of the home side.<\/p>\n That\u2019s four goals, one behind and the home side are setting up a big win if this continues.<\/p>\n Suns 25, Tigers 0 with five mins to go in Q1.<\/p>\n Ben King of the Suns celebrates kicking a goal.Credit: AFL Photos via Getty Images<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4.29pm<\/p>\n Read adds to lead<\/p>\n Ethan Read has kept his spot in the forward line today as Jed Walter is sent to the reserves and he has shown some skill with a mark on the left boundary before nailing a set shot from just inside 50m out.<\/p>\n It was an excellent finish and he let out a scream. I reckon he knows his finals spot could well be hanging on how he plays in the next few games.<\/p>\n Suns 19, Tigers 0 with seven mins to go in Q1.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4.22pm<\/p>\n King on the board<\/p>\n The Suns have dominated the footy but they have been held at bay by the Tigers defenders who have repeatedly repelled them.<\/p>\n But finally the Suns pressure paid off as they found Ben King on the lead and he marked and then went back and kicked his 48th goal of the season.<\/p>\n The Suns are on top, I think the Tigers defence will dictate whether this is a thrashing or not.<\/p>\n Suns 12, Tigers 0 with 11 mins to go in Q1.<\/p>\n The Suns run out.Credit: AFL Photos via Getty Images<\/p>\n![\"James](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ab37b827f39b3e1ec78de4ddc34cb6a4d19f2e91.jpeg\")
