Western Bulldogs vs Gold Coast Suns Preview
The Suns take a trip to Ballarat on Saturday looking to extend their winning streak to three in a row.
Gold Coast has been the talk of the town on the back of last week’s big win over Fremantle, a game that was highlighted by a four-goal bag from Mabior Chol in very wet conditions.
Stuart Dew’s side is now in the conversation for a finals berth, but they’ll have to go through a Dogs outfit with similar aspirations.
Luke Beveridge’s men took another step to turning their season around with a win over Collingwood last week, and they’ll feel pretty good heading to their home away from home knowing they’ve won eight of their last nine against the Suns.
Only 11 points separated these two sides when they met last July though, and with the Gold Coast playing with confidence, it wouldn’t be surprising if this one turns out equally as close.
Injuries have been at the forefront of the Dogs’ season so far, while the same old goal-kicking woes were still present last week.
Playing in Ballarat is tough, but if the Suns can continue to dominate the clearances and also make the most of their opportunities inside 50, they’ll be a real chance at keeping this close.
