Gold Coast Suns vs GWS Giants
Last Meeting
Round 23, 2019 Gold Coast 7.13 55 – GWS 20.7 127
(GWS by 72 Points)
Last 5 Meetings
Gold Coast – 0 Wins
GWS – 5 Wins
Last Week
The Suns were pretty good against the Bulldogs last week and dominated play for extended periods. They couldn’t quite get the win and fell by 5 Points.
The Giants may be back after a dominating performance from forward Toby Greene in which he booted 5 Goals. They were too good for an injury-ravaged Tigers team and won the match by 12 points. This may be the beginning of a charge to the top four for the talented Giants team.
The Gold Coast Suns have decided to go into this clash with an un-changed lineup, and the GWS Giants have lost Daniel Lloyd to injury, but regain defender Zac Williams.
Current Head to Head Odds
Gold Coast – $1.44
GWS – $2.80
Prediction
The Giants have found some form and are beginning to show some promise. Their midfield looks like they have regained some confidence and they should be too good for the Suns in this one.
Our Pick – GWS (Win)
Player Prop – Jeremy Cameron 2+ Goals
The Giants are starting to get the ball out of the middle easier which means plenty more chances for Cameron to kick goals. Cameron has booted 30 goals against the Suns in his last five matches and should get a lot of opportunities in this game.
Fremantle Dockers vs Collingwood Magpies
Last Meeting
Round 11, 2019 Fremantle 11.13 79 – Collingwood 11.9 75
(Fremantle by 4 Points)
Last 5 Meetings
Fremantle – 1 Win
Collingwood – 4 Wins
Last Week
The Dockers looked like they tried to play dry weather football in the wet against the Cats and lost the match by 32 Points. They have now only scored 48 points in their last 2 games and scoring is undoubtedly a problem.
The Magpies were well beaten against the classy West Coast Eagles and may be taking a while to adjust being in a hub situation. They lost the match by 66 Points and looked flat.
Lots of changes for both sides for this clash, with the Dockers losing James Aish, Darcy Tucker and Michael Walters to injury. Bailey Banfield and Blake Acres have been omitted. Brownlow Medalist Nat Fyfe comes back into the team as well as Connor Blakley, Travis Colyer, Brennan Cox and Mitch Crowden.
For the Magpies, they have lost Callum Brown to injury and have dropped, Atu Bosenavulagi, Jordan Roughhead, Matthew Scharenberg and Rupert Willis. Steele Sidebottom comes back into the team, along with Jack Magden, Brayden Sier, Travis Varcoe and Mark Keane makes his AFL Debut.
Current Head to Head Odds
Fremantle – $2.95
Collingwood – $1.40
Prediction
Both sides have their injury concerns and were both well beaten last week. The Magpies still have the much more talented outfit and should win this game comfortably as Fremantle are struggling to put points on the board. Collingwood to bounce back and be too good.
Our Pick
Player Prop – Jaidyn Stephenson and Brodie Mihocek 1+ Goals Each
The Dockers are thin down back at the moment, and these two Collingwood forwards seem to pop up most weeks and kick goals. Should both score a goal in this game.
