GWS to win by default. 23 points.

Big match for both clubs. A genuine 8 point swing game that could end up determining which of these two clubs competes in September. Not overly confident given our away record this year, but a win would be huge for us and will get us into the top 8 (at least temporarily). As is often the case, if we can't find a way to restrict Toby Greene

's influence then it's going to be a rough afternoon. It's probably going to take our best to walk away with the chocolates here and I'm hoping this is the one that we finally turn the tide in our favour.

I wanted to run through the finals race and how the Suns have done from this position in the past. At the moment the Suns are 9-8 and are one win out of the 8 with a lot of traffic in between. Last year the Suns were 8-9 and also a game out of it. They then went 1-5 to finish 15th, they would have had to go 5-1 to make it depending on a couple of games. So a similar scenario to today. Obviously that was with a caretaker coach and did include our best QClash win, but even so it was a bit of a collapse.

The fixture last year was tougher though they faced teams that would finish 2nd, 5th, 7th, 8th and 10th while also losing to the 17th placed team. So it proved definitively that the top 8 were better than us.

This year’s run of games is up against the current 7th, 5th, 16th, 2nd, 8th and 18th placed sides. So that’s four top 8 sides again and two ‘should win’ games.

With 6 games to go in 2022 the Suns were 8-8 and a win out of it once again and went 2-4 vs. just two top 8 sides. They lost to eventual 13th and 15th and beat The Roos and Eagles. That was a really poor run, if they had beat the lowly Bombers and Hawks on the road that year they might have made the 8 on percentage.

2014 was the next closest the Suns were at 9-7 and percentage kept them out of the 8 as I’m sure we all know they went 1-5. In that stretch they were without Ablett as the young mids lost their way and couldn’t keep it together.

2022 is the sort of run we have to avoid. Some level of away form has to emerge.

Here’s a look at the age of the list that started the first of the last 6 games in each of these years:

2014 – 22.77 yrs 48.68gms

2022 – 24.8rs 90.6 gms

2024 – 23yrs 76gms

It shows just how bad 2022 ended up being as they were more experienced than we are this year, while the 2014 side were really a bunch of kids with barely 2 seasons-worth of games under their belts.

Its a pity this game isn't in Canberra. Wind chill of "neutered brass monkey" today (apparent temp, minus 1.9 at 1:20pm), players would love it.

 

[NSWCROW]

Well done to everyone who turned up, wind chill factor about minus 38 !!!

 

[MelbourneGWS]

hope we have a good Expansion Cup match

 

[MelbourneGWS]

a goal in his 100th! Hopefully Daniels kicks on

 

[Crumpet_avenger]

Cant believe i tipped gc

 

[gordo2016]

King as selfish as you can get and should have been dragged.

 

[Zevon]

Darcy Jones is an absolute ripper

 

[LongSerong]

Can't help but continually think that the King brothers are both mentally so weak

 

[wagstaff]

GWS so good to watch when they run in waves through the midfield via handball

 

[vindaloo]

Looks like a decent crowd between these two teams. Would have to be the biggest gws v sun's crowd at that ground?

Highest ever home crowd vs Gold Coast at Giants Stadium is 8,308. Yes, looks like we will beat it today
