The prediction
The Adelaide Crows (3rd) made it five wins in a row after outlasting the Western Bulldogs in a high-quality shootout, winning by 11 points (109-98).
The Gold Coast Suns (5th) claimed their biggest scalp of the season, holding their nerve to upset Collingwood 69-63 in a Friday night epic. They held a large lead and weathered a furious Collingwood comeback to hand the Pies only their third loss of the season.
Riley Thilthorpe was the clear difference-maker for the Crows against the Bulldogs, dominating the forward 50 to grab 10 marks and kick a career-high six goals.
Noah Anderson was simply outstanding for the Suns against the Magpies' vaunted midfield, finishing with 32 disposals, 8 clearances, and kicking the crucial go-ahead goal late in the final term.
Gold Coast won the last meeting between the sides in Round 4 this season snatching a one point victory, 91-90. The Suns have won four out of the last five meetings.
This promises to be a spectacular contest. Gold Coast's win over Collingwood proves they are a genuine top four threat. However, the Crows are the hottest team in the competition and are almost unbeatable at Adelaide Oval. This will be close, but we think the Crows can get home in what promises to be a classic.
