GWS Giants vs Gold Coast Suns Preview
We could be in for a fiery one on Saturday between two clubs playing with a chip on their shoulder.
The Suns put a bit of a scare into Melbourne last week on the back of their historic win over West Coast in Round 1, while there have been some encouraging signs from the Giants despite back-to-back losses to Sydney and Richmond.
Gold Coast has gone up heavy underdogs in betting, which stands out a little on the back of last week’s performance.
The Suns lacked the legs in the fourth quarter against the reigning premiers, but the likes of Touk Miller and Noah Anderson really made Melbourne earn it.
The play of Mabior Chol has been exciting to watch in two games with his new club, while it’s hard to forget Gold Coast’s one-point win over the Giants when they met in Ballarat late last year.
Harry Himmelberg and Stephen Coniglio should test the Suns, but the way the Giants have been giving up goals to start the season has to have Leon Cameron concerned.
With Toby Greene still serving his suspension, and Izak Rankine set to return for the Suns, Gold Coast looks a nice value play away from home.
