Carlton vs Gold Coast SUNS Preview

Gold Coast heads to Marvel Stadium on Saturday night riding a wave of momentum and eyeing a top-four berth, up against a Carlton outfit clinging to pride. The Suns were relentless in last week’s 84-point dismantling of Richmond, restricting the Tigers to just 23 points—the lowest total ever conceded by the club. Noah Anderson was again the driving force, amassing 38 disposals in a performance worthy of Brownlow votes.

With five wins from their past six games, the Suns are surging at the right time, while the Blues are in freefall. Carlton has lost six of its last seven, including last round’s collapse against Fremantle after leading by 24 points. Although the Blues claimed the sides’ only meeting in 2024, their 2025 form tells a starkly different tale. Holding a game in hand and September within reach, Gold Coast will know this is a golden opportunity it cannot afford to waste.
