Gold Coast Suns vs Western Bulldogs Preview
Coming off a loss to Sydney which saw them get knocked off the top spot on the ladder, the Western Bulldogs head to Metricon Stadium to face the in-form Gold Coast Suns.
Even based on recent weeks, you’d still regard a trip to Carrara to play the Suns as a free hit to get back four premiership points but Stewy Dew’s boys have been on a bit of a roll recently and have all the vibes of everyone’s second favorite team.
Having said that, you can forgive the Dogs for having the odd loss here and there.
They should be too good for an ambitious Gold Coast side, but I expect normal programming to resume here and will back the Western Bulldogs by 40+ points.
