Racing and Sports will provide analysis of games in the 2024 AFL Season.

We'll endeavour to run through the form, incorporate appropriate stats and also supply a betting prediction which won't always just be who will win.

GOLD COAST v GWS

Sunday 7 April @ Mount Barker

Interestingly the two newest sides in the comp will compete off the same lead up – three games and the bye.

However the results of those were diametrically opposite. Gold Coast getting thrashed by the Dogs at Ballarat while GWS had a training drill in Perth.

What did happen in Ballarat was they gave up 9 goals in the opening stanza and that was the margin at the end. It so often happens that what occurs in the first quarter determines the final result.

Even though some held their heads high like Miller and Rowell, the supply was not good enough leaving Ben King and the rest floundering.

Now they face a side whose defence is even better again so good luck with that.

GWS just went around for practice against the Eagles which could be a common thread for some time.

Whitfield running around for fun off half back and Green in the middle knocking up getting possessions.

They are also doing all this without the need for Toby Greene to be mightily influential.

He's probably waiting for them to play a side in red hot form. Watch Greene fly then.

The Suns were a year older but not a year wiser than the Giants. The record is 5 wins and 12 losses. That is not pretty and could very easily be added to here albeit the Suns defence is better now.

Match Selection: GWS by 29 points

Suggested Bets: GWS 1-39 @ $2.00 @ bet365
