Overview

  • The Gold Coast Suns, under coach Damien Hardwick, seek their best-ever start to an AFL season with a 3-0 record after two strong away wins.
  • The Adelaide Crows, currently 3-0, lead the league in scoring and have set a historic milestone by outscoring opponents in all twelve quarters so far this season.
  • Adelaide will be without Josh Rachele (ribs) and Matt Crouch (managed), while Gold Coast regains small forward Ben Ainsworth (quad).
  • The Suns are focusing on countering Adelaide’s high-scoring forward trio of Darcy Fogarty, Riley Thilthorpe, and Taylor Walker, who combined for nine goals in their last match.
  • Gold Coast continues to adapt to the loss of key defender Charlie Ballard, with their defensive group conceding just 55.5 points per game across the first two rounds.
