Gold Coast SUNS vs Western Bulldogs Preview

The Gold Coast Suns and the Western Bulldogs will face off in Darwin on Saturday night, with both sides determined to strengthen their credentials for the 2025 season. The Bulldogs, arguably the AFL’s in-form team since the return of Marcus Bontempelli, are riding high on a three-game winning streak, boasting an impressive average winning margin of 64.3 points.

In contrast, the Suns have struggled to maintain their early-season momentum, dropping two of their past three games, including a 66-49 loss to Brisbane in the QClash. Still, they can draw confidence from their outstanding record at Marrara, where they’ve notched six consecutive wins.

The two clubs last clashed in Darwin in 2023, with Gold Coast edging out an 84-77 victory. However, the Bulldogs turned the tables in 2024, delivering a commanding 115-67 win, led by a standout performance from Bontempelli, who racked up 32 disposals, 19 contested possessions, and two goals.

Saturday’s matchup looms as a pivotal contest in shaping both teams’ 2025 ambitions.
