GWS v GOLD COAST
Saturday 20 July @ ENGIE Stadium
The expansion clubs meet somewhere they don't do often – only 5 times in their histories.
Wherever they are playing, GWS are just starting to get a little bit of positivity.
After losses to Sydney and Adelaide, they won well over Carlton and Richmond. More importantly they are beginning to score more again which has to make them harder to beat.
It provides more cover for the backline until Sam Taylor gets back in town. Their best sees them a Top 4 hope.
The huge difference in this game is who is home and who is away. That is a total indictment on the Suns as they try to get off the mark in 2024 despite sitting just outside the Eight.
There were times in a tasty contest that Port may have run all over them but they held firm and then toughed it out late.
And they did that without Miller and Day plus other changes.
| Match | GWS | Gold Coast | Ground |
| Last time they met | 18.9 [117] | 13.11 [89] | Mount Barker |
| Last 10 matches | 9 wins | 1 win | |
| Notes | That one GC win was by 1 point in a Covid year at Ballarat | ||
| Only once since 2014 has the crowd been above 10000 and that was only 26 above | |||
Gold Coast might be in it for a while but surely getting on the plane will kick in in the second half as it does every second week. GWS to win with Toby Greene now in full flight.
Match Selection: GWS by 27 points
Suggested Bets: GWS -17.5 @ $1.91 @ bet365
