We'll endeavour to run through the form, incorporate appropriate stats and also supply a betting prediction which won't always just be who will win.

ADELAIDE v GOLD COAST

Sunday 20 July @ Adelaide Oval

Last game of the round is a clinker. It will be a coming of age game for whoever ends up the winner.

Adelaide is now going to play Finals. Winning away from home is always a sign of maturity and getting the 4 points in Melbourne is even harder for them historically.

But coming to Marvel and seeing off the Bulldogs in a top contest shows when fit and able, they are a very solid conveyance.

The big forwards will stretch and test all defences. Then Rankine as a wildcard adds so much up the front or in the middle.

Notes Adelaide has never lost to Gold Coast in Adelaide.
Strangely in 20 games, Adelaide scored 100+ points in the first 13 of them. They have not done it since.
Their opposition more or less had their school graduation against the Pies. It was a much hyped game and they got home in strange circumstances.

Establishing a whopping lead, losing all of that and more and then regathering themselves showed something more than they have previously.

They will need more than Rowell and Anderson to have 32 each week but boy it does help. Anderson has class all over him.

While recent games have Gold Coast dominating the Crows, there is one main stat in the home side's favour. That Adelaide hoodoo is there for the Suns to conquer.

So it's easy to tip Adelaide. But probably not by a lot.

Match Selection: Adelaide by 15 points

Suggested Bets: Adelaide 1-39 @ $2.10
