Melbourne Demons vs Gold Coast Suns Tips and Prediction
Gold Coast head to the MCG undefeated and looking like one of the form teams of the competition.
Melbourne have shown flashes, but this is a big step up against a Suns side that is firing across the board.
Best Bet: Gold Coast Suns -21.5
How this game shapes up
Gold Coast have started the season in dominant fashion. They’ve been scoring heavily while also restricting opponents, which is a tough combination to match.
Even when they give up points, they have the ability to respond quickly and pile on scores. That’s what separates them at the moment.
Melbourne have been competitive, but inconsistency remains the issue. They showed great fight to come back against Carlton, but also put themselves in a position where they needed that comeback in the first place.
Against a side like Gold Coast, those slow starts and lapses are much harder to recover from.
Best Bets
Gold Coast Suns -21.5
The Suns look the more complete team right now. If they bring the same pressure and ball movement, they should be able to control large portions of the game and build a margin.
Ben King 3+ Goals
King is in outstanding form and has been one of the most dangerous forwards in the league to start the season. With the Suns generating plenty of inside 50s, he should again get multiple scoring opportunities.
What could go wrong?
Melbourne showed last week that they can generate momentum quickly, and if they get a run on they’re capable of putting pressure on the scoreboard.
Gold Coast’s fast style can also allow opposition teams to score at times, which could keep things closer than expected.
Which probably means this comes down to whether Melbourne can stick with them for four quarters.
