Gold Coast Beat GWS by Twenty the Last Time These Two Met. Nineteen and a Half in Canberra Is Still Too Rich for Me.

The market has GWS at $1.30 and hands you a 19.5 start with the Suns. I have got the winner right and the line about a goal and a bit too long. Two sides going nowhere, and one of them is priced like the gap between them is bigger than it is.

Round 8 Says Gold Coast Can Win This

These two met in Round 8 and Gold Coast won it by twenty. I am not going to pretend that did not happen. But Gold Coast turn up here beaten in each of their last five, and GWS got the job done against Port Adelaide last start. Same fixture, two different teams.

Nineteen and a Half Is More Than I Can Make It

Backing GWS on the line means finding better than three goals, and that is not this game. Gold Coast keep losing tight ones: three of their last five defeats came by under two goals. They are not being pulled apart, they are just falling short. I will take the points.

The Late Mail Is All One Way

GWS have their captain back in. Gold Coast have managed three players out for the trip to Canberra, which tells you plenty about where their season sits. That is why the head to head at $1.30 feels short rather than generous. It does not get me to three goals and change, so the line stays with the Suns at +19.5.

I Am Not Buying the Rain Story

Here is my position on the weather, and every leg agrees with it: a cold, wet afternoon at Manuka is not the same thing as a slog. The total is set low for the forecast and I think that is too much. Both these sides have been in high scoring games lately and neither defends well enough to hold this under 146.5, shower or no shower. I want the over.

GWS vs Gold Coast Tip

The multi at $4.65 is Gold Coast +19.5, the over 146.5 and Noah Anderson 25 or more disposals. My read is that GWS get there without covering, which is exactly the game that lands the line leg. On their own I will take the head to head at $1.30 and the over 146.5 at $1.87, because 146.5 is a rain number and I do not think a bit of Canberra drizzle earns it.

Player Prop Predictions

Max Gruzewski to kick a goal, $1.38. A goal in two of his last four, and I have GWS getting the job done in Canberra, which means the ball spends more time down his end. At $1.38 he only has to snag one.

Xavier O’Halloran 20 or more disposals, $1.59. He has built into it with 23 and 22 in the last two after a couple of quieter ones, so the trend is going the right way. With the total shaping to go past 146.5 there is ball to be won, and 20 or more at $1.59 is the sensible side of it.

John Noble 25 or more disposals, $1.36. Thirty four touches last start, on top of a 33 and a 30 in the same run, so the ceiling is not in question. He has got to 25 or more in four of his last seven and $1.36 is a fair ask for that kind of output.

Noah Anderson 25 or more disposals, $1.31. The 43 and the 33 in this run tell you what he does when the game opens up, and 25 or more has landed in four of his last seven. He is the prop leg I roll into the multi, and $1.31 is what a steady one costs.

Ben King two or more goals, $1.70. Two goals last start and a three the week before, so he is scoring in bunches right now. Two or more has come up in three of his last seven, and if the scoring beats that 146.5 like I reckon it will, $1.70 is the best value on the board.
