West Coast Eagles vs Gold Coast Suns Tips, Odds and Teams – AFL 2019
We take a look at Saturday’s (04/5/2019) AFL Week 7 match which is between the West Coast Eagles and Gold Coast Suns. View the odds and teams for both sides as well as our Tips and Bets for the match.
Preview:
It’s only fitting two sides on the heels of two straight losses meet this weekend in Perth.
After a thrilling start to the season the Suns have looked a little underdone in recent weeks losing in back-to-back blowout fashion at the hands of the Crows and the Lions.
Likewise, the reigning premiers have also been on the wrong end of the scoreboard falling to the Power at home and the Cats last week in Geelong.
A trip to Optus Stadium is the last thing Stuart Dew’s side needs right now, especially considering the Suns are yet to win a game against West Coast in Perth.
The biggest problem for the Eagles of late has been the midfield. West Coast gave up 444 disposals to the Cats last week, and have shown little ability to win the hard, contested footy.
Despite what the scoreboard reads, the Suns were in the contest last week against the Lions – at least up until halftime. Gold Coast weren’t disgraced on the stat sheet, they simply couldn’t find any sort of freedom inside 50 managing only 17 shots at goal.
In their eight-year history, the Suns have won only once against West Coast back in 2017. This game is hardly worth overthinking, but with such little value on offer head-to-head and a large line set, it’s probably one to leave out of your multi.
What it means for West Coast: The Eagles are a shadow of last year's premiership team and desperately need some confidence – as individuals and in their system – after losing 10 of their past 11 quarters to Fremantle, Port Adelaide and Geelong.
What it means for Gold Coast: Everyone expected the Suns to struggle this year and, after a 3-1 start, two beltings from the Crows and Lions appear to be a sign of things to come. Beating the Eagles in Perth would be a huge upset and restore faith they won't become easybeats as the season drags on.
How West Coast wins: If they are anywhere near their best, the Eagles will have far too much class for the Suns. This is about the way they play. West Coast's desire and workrate is under the microscope and, even if they win, anything less than a ferocious effort will raise more questions.
How Gold Coast wins: West Coast's midfield has been smashed in consecutive weeks and if the Suns can bring a hard edge to the contest they could make it tough for the Eagles to score.
The stat: The Eagles have beaten the Suns by an average of 59 points in all seven clashes in Perth. Gold Coast's only win over West Coast was by three points in 2017, and the clubs drew at Metricon Stadium in 2015.
The match-up: Tom Hickey v Jarrod Witts
Hickey was one of few Eagles who could hold their head high after the belting from Geelong. Despite copping a midfield hammering, the Eagles won the clearances 43-39, with Hickey extracting a dozen alone. West Coast's onball brigade is underperforming and if Witts can kick-start the Suns it will go a long way to an upset.
It's a big week for: Jack Darling
You could name about half West Coast's team who need to step up but Darling is copping the brunt of fan fury. Putting aside the fact he has gone scoreless in consecutive full games for the first time since his debut season in 2011, the key forward has had minimal impact over the past month and needs to lift his intensity.
