Show Preview

The Gold Coast Suns will be looking to continue their strong recent form when they take on the St Kilda Saints at Metricon Stadium. Follow every goal with our live scores page on The Roar from 1:45pm (AEST).

This match was originally scheduled to begin at 2:10pm; however, the COVID-19 situation in Sydney forced the game between GWS and Essendon to be move back to that time slot, with this one moved 25 minutes earlier.

Wins over Collingwood and Sydney in the past two weeks have suddenly pushed the Suns within touching distance of the top eight. A third win in a row could easily see them leapfrog even reigning premiers Richmond into eighth spot.

Speaking of Richmond, former Tiger Brandon Ellis has been one of the stars of the show in the Suns’ surge. He’s averaging a career-high 27 disposals a game, racking up 35 – and 16 marks – to pick the Pies apart in Round 7.

The Saints sit equal on points with the Suns, but their dismal percentage of just 80 sees them sit 14th on the ladder. However, they too have appeared to get their season back on track in recent weeks, a monster 69-point win over Hawthorn last round just what the doctor ordered for last year’s big risers.

Look for returned ruckman Paddy Ryder to hold the keys to victory for the Saints. The tap maestro gave his midfield first use with some brilliant work against the Hawks. With the Suns still putting their trust in makeshift ruck team Chris Burgess and Caleb Graham, Ryder’s impact at stoppages could be decisive.
