GOLD COAST v BRISBANE
Saturday 26 July @ People First Stadium
This Q-Clash is easily the best one of them all given the form they have been showing across a season (well most of the season).
It will mean a lot and imagine how good that would be if they met up in a Final as well.
That said what do you make of what the Gold Coast dished up last week? They were woeful early. It was like they were a kangaroo in the head lights.
Even though a late span of goals occurred, they were barely relevant. It was not meeting the moment when most eyes were on them.
| Match | Gold Coast | Brisbane | Ground |
| Last time they met | 7.7 [49] | 9.12 [66] | Gabba |
| Last 10 matches | 1 win | 9 wins | |
| Notes | Gold Coast has only won 1 of the last 13 against Brisbane. | ||
| Gold Coast has not gone past 100+ points since 2016. | |||
It was Ashcroft driven and that is hard to knock them (lols at the father/son & academy negativity). The Lions will definitely need them to keep kicking goals.
That is because the talls up the front can go missing. It will be a small forward led Flag if they win it this time.
Strangely, Gold Coast could easily bounce back given they are at home. It's a game where what is on the line actually sits with both as Brisbane are chasing Collingwood hard now.
With that incentive, Brisbane to win but it should be close.
Match Selection: Brisbane by 5 points
Suggested Bets: Brisbane 1-39 @ $2.10
