GOLD COAST v COLLINGWOOD

Friday 11 July @ People First Stadium

A really really interesting game is under the Friday Night Lights with Gold Coast getting maybe their most anticipated match in their history.

The Suns have only knocked over Melbourne and Essendon in the last two weeks but in the past they would have lost those matches.

It means they likely only need to see off one opponent around them and they make Finals for the first time. Importantly they have a decent percentage which will hold them in nice stead.

Winning at home is important – winning against a big Finals rival is another.

Match Gold Coast Collingwood Ground
Last time they met    14.17 [101] 13.12 [90] GC
Last 10 matches 2 wins 8 wins  
Notes Suns have won 4 of the 15 match ups.
Last clash was the first time Gold Coast scored 100+ points in these games.
Those Magpies are just getting it done every week. They've only lost twice and don't look like throwing in the towel in any game.

One of the reasons the rest of the home and away season will be fascinating is that Collingwood are 2½ wins clear and as such can begin to rest some big names who are probably going to need that.

It also gives them the opportunity to blood newcomers and have them inspire the troops.

Then, good luck tagging either or both Daicos'. 63 of their combined possessions will kill off most sides.

This has to be a game Gold Coast target. If they handle the attention they can win. Give them a go.

Match Selection: Gold Coast by 9 points

Suggested Bets: Gold Coast @ $2.10
