Gold Coast Suns vs Hawthorn Hawks Preview
The spotlight will be fixed on the Gold Coast Suns on Sunday afternoon following last week’s thorough disappointment against Carlton.
Stuart Dew’s side had a huge opportunity to prove themselves on the big stage against a struggling powerhouse, but instead, the Suns turned in a 59-point defeat.
It was another frustrating result for players, coaches, and fans alike, casting further questions over Dew’s coaching future and whether the club can actually fulfill its top-eight expectations.
On one hand, the sight of the Hawks will be a welcome sign, but as we’ve come to learn in recent weeks, the brown and gold can’t be taken lightly.
James Sicily’s absence will be felt down back for the next few weeks, but Hawthorn’s forward line is firing on all cylinders right now – led by the in-form Mitch Lewis, and two exciting small forwards in Tyler Brockman and Fergus Greene.
The Hawks midfield is also coming together nicely, setting up what could be a fierce battle between two sides that tend to play a hard, aggressive brand of footy.
The door is still open for the Suns to make the eight, but this has typically been the time of year they’ve struggled.
For whatever reason, Gold Coast tends to fall away from the pack after the bye, and with the Hawks eager to give their loyal Queensland fans a show, this could be tighter than the market suggests.
