Preview:
The Suns have had a week to stew on last week’s heartache after losing by a point to the Dees at home.
Port Adelaide also had some time to reflect on their disappointment in Showdown 46 after failing to boot a single goal in the entire first quarter against the Crows.
This is a big game as far as the ladder is concerned. The Suns find themselves 14th but only four points away from a spot in the eight. The Power, meanwhile, sit 11th tied on points with Fremantle, Hawthorn, the Bulldogs and St. Kilda.
It’s been exactly eight years since the Suns last won at Adelaide Oval. Gold Coast secured a nail-biting three-point win against the Power during their inaugural season but have since lost nine straight games to Port Adelaide.
The bookies are giving the Gold Coast no chance this week with a whopping 32.5-point line set. Gold Coast are 6-4 over the last 12 months as the line underdog, however, and considering Stuart Dew continues to come up with new strategies to stifle opponents, the Suns can easily keep this game close against a very questionable looking Power side.
