Match preview:

The Sydney Swans host the struggling Gold Coast Suns at the SCG, with the home side looking to secure a top-four spot heading into the finals. Join The Roar for live coverage from 2:10pm (AEST).

Since joining the league in 2011, the Gold Coast have never beaten the Swans and based on recent form, it’s hard to see that changing this week.

Though Sydney have been without stars and a wealth of experience for large parts of the season due to injury, they have often managed to find a way to win. As much was highlighted by their performance last week against North Melbourne, when youngsters Allir Allir and Ben Ronke stepped up to dominate the game.

This is a big week for ruckman Darcy Cameron, who has been named to make his debut for the Swans.

In their hope of stopping Sydney, the Suns will need to lock down key forward Lance Franklin, who last week notched his 900th AFL goal. This job will probably fall to Steven May. Now the Suns’ sole captain for the rest of the season after Tom Lynch’s season-ending knee injury, the young Suns will look to their leader to put in a big performance against the rampaging forward.

Prediction
They Swans are a professional outfit and will easily account for the Suns.

Sydney by 65 points.
