GOLD COAST v WESTERN BULLDOGS
Saturday 10 May @ TIO Stadium
What an intriguing game we find being taken to Darwin – one of the best in history.
But Gold Coast has been a little inconsistent of late while the Bulldogs are in some lovely touch.
The Suns had to come from behind against Sydney and then once they got to the most anticipated Q-Clash, there wasn't much left.
An extremely tight and low scoring first stanza opened up a little but not much. 9 goals to 7 in the end belied the tough game.
| Match | Gold Coast | Western Bulldogs | Ground |
| Last time they met | 10.7 [67] | 18.7 [115] | Eureka |
| Last 10 matches | 2 wins | 8 wins | |
| Notes | Gold Coast record at this ground is 6/2, winning the last 6. | ||
| Gold Coast has averaged 118 in those wins. | |||
They have beaten some good sides in recent games and notably putting margins on them. 71, 32 and 90 in the last month shows that.
Everything is being shared by this side and the addition of Bontempelli has been cream on the cake rather than filling.
The Suns do love this ground. You can see them firing up. Their defence will be tested but could stifle. A tight one is in prospect.
Match Selection: Gold Coast by 6 points
