This could get ugly quickly. The Suns look capable of piling on a big score against a West Coast side that struggled badly throughout 2025 and has shown little improvement in preseason.

The early rounds of the season have already produced several large totals, with four scores of 120 or more posted across the first seven matches. Gold Coast themselves kicked 125 points against last year’s grand finalists Geelong in Opening Round.

West Coast remain well behind the competition’s standard. The Eagles managed just one win last season and were heavily beaten during preseason, conceding 140 points in a 73-point loss to Port Adelaide.

With Gold Coast playing fast, attacking football and West Coast still struggling defensively, the Suns should generate enough scoring opportunities to clear this team total comfortably.

West Coast have struggled to contain key forwards and Gold Coast should look to exploit that weakness. Mitch Georgiades kicked six goals against the Eagles in preseason, which suggests Ben King could be in line for a big night in front of goal.

Ben Long also shapes as a strong inclusion, with 2+ goals in five of his last six games when the Suns are favoured.

Noah Anderson rounds out the multi after kicking a goal in three straight home matches against West Coast.

Noah Anderson was heavily involved around goal last week but could only manage 1.4 despite generating several strong opportunities.

Against a very weak West Coast midfield and defence, the Suns captain should again find himself pushing forward regularly and looks a strong chance to convert multiple chances this time around.
