Gold Coast Suns vs Geelong Cats Preview
Two rounds of footy have come and gone and the reigning premier currently occupies a bottom six position on the ladder.
Despite Jeremy Cameron’s best efforts last week, the Cats were run over in the final term by a spirited Carlton outfit, a result that has left many wondering whether Chris Scott’s side is indeed suffering from some kind of hangover.
The Suns also find themselves in an 0-2 hole after fading late in the fourth quarter against the Bombers.
Stuart Dew has to be pleased with his side’s resolve in the first half, but like they so often do, the Suns simply lacked the legs when it mattered most, failing to withstand an onslaught of momentum late in the piece.
Given they’ll likely be fighting for a spot in the eight all year, it’s fair to say an 0-3 start to the season would be likely mean lights out for the Suns.
On paper, Gold Coast boasts some serious talent, but their pressure has left a lot to be desired, and stars like Ben King, Touk Miller, and Matt Rowell are yet to make the impact we expected so far.
Geelong, on the other hand, could very easily claw its way back from an 0-3 start, but I do think a trip away from Melbourne might just do the Cats some good.
It’s clear they aren’t getting the same flow through the midfield like we’ve become accustom to seeing, and they also aren’t making the most of their inside 50 opportunities – aside from Cameron of course.
Fortunately for the Cats, these are two areas the Suns have struggled with, making this a perfect bounce-back matchup for the visitors.
