Preview
The Crows have been one of the surprises of the season. They currently sit 4-0, and second on the ladder on percentage. They will be confident heading into this game against the Suns.
Gold Coast has never beaten Adelaide. The Suns’ average losing margin across the nine games is just over 55 points. They did beat Hawthorn for the first time this year, however, the Crows are playing much better football than the Hawks in 2017.
The Suns will have a tough time stopping the potent Adelaide forward line. Betts, Walker, and Lynch combined for 13 goals last week, while the likes of Andy Otten, Rory Atkins, and Rory Sloane have also managed to hit the scoreboard.
Tip: Crows by 25
