North Melbourne Kangaroos vs Gold Coast Suns Preview
No one should think that North Melbourne will lose this because they are tanking for Harley Reid.
North Melbourne will lose this game because they are facing a Gold Coast Suns outfit who took it to the red-hot Carlton last week at home and now have a new coach in Damien Hardwick to impress.
While North has lost their past 20 matches, they have been showing some fight in recent weeks having lost their past five by the 1-39 point margin.
The Suns will find a way to win this, and while the line is a -19.5 buffer, I wouldn’t rule out the Kangas getting a sniff but just not being able to finish off.
Gold Coast 1-39 points, sending stand-in coach Steven King off with a win and showing off for Dimma should do the job down in Hobart this Saturday arvo.
