North Melbourne vs Gold Coast SUNS Preview

The Gold Coast Suns enter this match in arguably the best form in the club’s history, sitting second in total points and leading the league in inside-50 entries. While their recent win over Adelaide was marred by some umpiring controversy, the Suns have shown a clear improvement in their ability to congest the corridor and disrupt opposition ball movement—especially under new coach Damien Hardwick.

In contrast, North Melbourne is still searching for their first opening-quarter win of the season, which doesn’t bode well against a Suns side that has taken out every first quarter so far this year. With momentum on their side, Gold Coast is well-positioned to cover the -24.5 line with ease, likely leaving North chasing from the outset.
