Does shizen weather suit us over Nthmond?

I think so, scrappy inside footy should be our go, and when the wind gusts that is the sort of footy you get, our average foot skills won't be such a handicap if both sides are missing targets. As long as we can force Nthmond into long kicking while keeping the intervening space closed up.
Definitely Richmond.

They built a 3 flag winning team off surge mentality football, which is effectively not pretty but keep knocking it forward.  They are also harder running both ways.  We like the contest, but tend to be overly cute, and then stuff up our ball use.  The windy conditions will amplify disposal issues or accidentally fix them.  IMHO, its a leveller and for us, we are a pretty playing football team who doesnt mind a scrap, where as the Tigers are a scrappy bully team, that play surge football.
