Carlton vs Gold Coast SUNS Preview
Gold Coast heads to Marvel Stadium on Saturday night with momentum and a top-four finish within reach, as it faces a faltering Carlton side desperate to salvage pride. The Suns were ruthless in their 84-point demolition of Richmond last week, conceding just 23 points—the lowest score against them in club history. Noah Anderson was again at the heart of it, racking up 38 disposals in a Brownlow-worthy display.
Winners of five of their last six, the Suns are building at the right time, while the Blues are spiralling. Carlton has now dropped six of its past seven, squandering a 24-point lead in a costly loss to Fremantle last round. While the Blues won last year’s only meeting between the sides, their 2025 form tells a different story. With a game in hand and September in sight, Gold Coast won’t want to let this one slip.
Head To Head Bet
