GWS Giants vs Gold Coast Suns Preview
The Expansion Cup as branded by the GWS Social Media team makes its way back to Western Sydney, in a straightforward task for the Giants.
Its straightforward in the sense that Gold Coast is incapable of winning on the road, and the Giants dont even guarantee it to be a 50/50 contest.
The Suns were able to beat Port Adelaide last week at home, and still sit one game outside the top eight, making this a must-win in their eyes.
The Giants will certainly have top four in their sights, and a win against the Suns will most likely have them half a game outside of it.
GWS werent extremely punishing against the Tigers but didnt need to be as they turned it on for periods that got them on top.
The Giants goal efficiency sits them third in the competition, only behind Sydney and Carlton, so no surprise theyre still right in the hunt at this time of year.
Where Gold Coast excels is their inside 50 average, second in the competition, but their inability to impact on the road almost nullifies the statistic.
Gold Coast is second last for stoppage clearances, which is the Giants game at times, so if theyre unable to neutralise at the stoppages theyll fall behind quite quickly.
