Gold Coast Suns vs Western Bulldogs Preview
Warm weather awaits the Suns and the Dogs ahead of their first meeting in Darwin since 2012.
Gold Coast was up to its old tricks last week in the Q-Clash, playing a tight three quarters against arch-rivals Brisbane before fading in the final term to lose comfortably.
The Bulldogs, meanwhile, are the in-form team having won five in a row, the most recent being an impressive 45-point win over the Crows in Ballarat.
Luke Beveridge’s side still has its issues in front of goal, but the midfield is firing on all cylinders with Bailey Smith, Bailey Dale, and the Bont getting plenty of the footy last week.
Dogs fans can rest easy knowing they’ve won four in a row over the Suns, but this should be a fascinating contest between two of the top five clearance teams in the league.
Where the Bulldogs hold the advantage though is down back, Beveridge’s back-line allowing the third-fewest points to opponents this year.
Like they do most weeks, the Suns will likely hang around for the first half but lack the class to finish the job.
With Gold Coast struggling to make the most of its inside 50 opportunities, this should be a comfortable win in the end for the Dogs.
