Show Preview

The Gold Coast Suns welcome back young sensation Matt Rowell for their trip west to take on the injury-ravaged Fremantle Dockers. Tune into the first of two Saturday AFL matches here on The Roar with live scores from 4:15pm (AEST).

Number one draft pick Rowell has had a torrid time with injuries since bursting onto the AFL scene at the beginning of 2020. He’s managed just 15 minutes of action in 2021 so far before suffering a knee injury in Round 1 against West Coast, while his 2020 season was ended by a shoulder injury even earlier than that in their Round 5 match with Geelong.

It means the Suns’ clash with the Dockers in Round 4 last year, in which he received the maximum 3 Brownlow Medal votes for the third time in his first four matches, is the most recent full match he’s played. However, it also means the Dockers know exactly what Rowell brings to the table.

Justin Longmuir will be without his own marquee man for this vital clash, with captain Nat Fyfe hurting his troublesome shoulder in their loss to the Western Bulldogs last week. Minus both his key defenders in Griffin Logue and Brennan Cox as well, plus the suspended Nathan Wilson, the Dockers’ backline looks decidedly threadbare. Given that, Alex Pearce’ return couldn’t be more timely, with the injury-plagued tall having played just half a match – in Round 1 this year – since midway through 2019.

A 4-7 record suggests the Suns have made progress this season, but the facts remain they are still yet to make a serious statement that they are a finals-capable side since Rowell burst onto the scene. With their talisman back, can Stuart Dew return back to the Gold Coast with four premiership points in the bank?
