West Coast Eagles vs Gold Coast Suns Preview

It’s the battle of the Coast’s in the second game of the Friday double header, with the Suns still in search of their first win on the road, and it won’t come easy.

It’s season over for the Suns, who face an impossible task of making finals from their position but went out with a hard-battled loss against the Lions.

The Eagles looked promising early against the Dockers and went into the main break ahead before the Dockers turned it on.

There’s no doubt the Eagles are a much more dominant team at home, and the odds are certainly confusing given the Suns inability to impact the contest interstate.

Typically, that’s down to poor starts as well, where the Suns have lost the first quarter in nine of its ten last matches.

West Coast capitalise on forward half pressure, and when they can thrive at the contest, they’re often unpredictable forward of centre.

Efficiency inside 50 has been make or break for the Suns in weeks gone by, and it’s fair to say the same level of inaccuracy will kick them out of this game quite quickly.

Their Queensland counterparts in much better form, Brisbane, only got the job done by 13 points a few weeks back, and it’s hard to see the Suns matching them by any stretch.
