Best Bet
The Suns may have lost some credits over the last fortnight but their record against Essendon cannot be ignored.
Gold Coast have won and covered in four straight against the Bombers, with the last two wins coming by 95 and 41 points.
Bailey Humphrey and Christian Petracca both return this week, which should help the Suns around the ball. They are currently ranked second last for clearance differential, only ahead of Essendon, and any improvement in that area should generate far more supply to their forward line. Noah Anderson misses with illness but the returns of Petracca and Humphrey more than compensate.
Essendon have covered the line in just four of their last 15 games against top-eight teams. Back the Suns for a comfortable margin.
Same Game Multi
Essendon have struggled more against small and medium forwards than talls this season. Back Petracca and Humphrey to hit the scoreboard on their returns to the side.
Archie Roberts is in brilliant touch, coming off 38 disposals last week and recording 25 or more in four straight games.
Value Bet
Petracca returns from a hamstring injury ready to continue his hot start to life at Gold Coast. Before going down, he had kicked three and four goals in his three games for the Suns and walks straight back into about the best match-up he could ask for.
