Saturday Afternoon: Gold Coast Suns vs. Adelaide Crows



Crows Caw on the Gold Coast

It was thought to be a close one and it certainly turned out to be a close game and, while 28 points isn’t exactly a competitive game, it was a close game for the most part. The Suns led at quarter-time 3.5.23 to 1.4.10 then the Crows led at every other change 8.7.55 to 5.11.41 then 11.10.76 to 9.14.68 then finally 16.15.111 to 11.17.83 so the Suns really only got torn apart in the last quarter.

It’s a tie for best on ground between a player kicking a small bag and another one putting on a master class of possessing the ball. Super-sub Wright is best on ground for the Crows with a four goal bag, 16 disposals, 9 kicks, 7 handballs and 2 marks. Prestia for the Suns however put on a show that clinical when he had the ball with 2 goals, 42 disposals, 24 kicks, 18 handballs, 7 marks, 4 tackles and was definitely someone you would’ve wanted in your Dream Team totaling 157.

The Suns play a winnable game against the Lions at the Gabba next week while the Crows square off against West Coast in a close encounter at AAMI which is a must win for both sides who are running out of chances to make a late charge for the eight.

My tips (after switching from a draw): 2 from 3
