Gold Coast SUNS vs Collingwood Preview
Gold Coast will be out to prove its finals credentials when it hosts top-of-the-table Collingwood at People First Stadium on Friday night. The Suns are coming off a comfortable 41-point win over an undermanned Essendon, but the challenge ramps up significantly against a Magpies side that has lost just once in its past 15 outings.
The Suns can take confidence from last year’s stirring 101-90 victory over Collingwood—powered by Noah Anderson’s 39-disposal masterclass—but recent form paints a mixed picture. Gold Coast has lost its last three games against top-eight opposition, leaving doubts about its ability to compete with the competition’s elite.
Collingwood, on the other hand, continues to surge, fresh off a 56-point demolition of Carlton where Nick Daicos once again stole the show. Daicos also impressed in last year’s clash with 32 touches, two goals and nearly 700 metres gained.
Armed with momentum, maturity and depth, the Magpies will start as deserved favourites. But with a strong home record and flashes of brilliance, the Suns are more than capable of causing an upset.
