Gold Coast ($3.00) v Western Bulldogs
The Suns were sensational last week in completely shutting down a Fremantle team that had won six straight. The Suns rolled the Swans as a big outsider the week prior. Off conceding 61 and 33 the last two weeks, a strong Suns defence can get a very positive result against the Bulldogs.
