Gold Coast Suns against Adelaide Crows, Richmond Tigers against Brisbane Lions, North Melbourne Kangaroos V Sydney Swans scores, results, fixtures, teams, suggestions, games, how to watch

The Gold Coast already has its eyes on a bunk of inaugural AFL finals while trying to continue their strong first season against Adelaide Rovante.

After two away wins to open the year, the Suns (2-0) face their most severe challenge, but welcome the Crows (3-0) to the first stage of the people on Saturday.

But Damien Hardwick’s men are full of trust in the brink of combining the best departure of the club ever, set under Rodney Eade in 2016.

“We did the things we did in the patch last year more consistent in the first two games,” said Suns Drearhead Ben King aap.

“Last year we had patches in which we played for the Dimma system, but in the end to get a year of success you have to do it for four quarters and you have to do it for a lot of season.

“We certainly have the cattle (to play finals) and we had another year under Dimma in which we learned the system and we hope it will translate into several victories this year.

“But it is still at the beginning of the year and each team hopes to be able to play end at this point. We just have to show it with our actions now.”

Making on their way is an Adelaide dress with a free score that marked the 137 points of the championship per game and boasted a margin of average victory of 53 points in the first month of the season.

The Crows also became only the second team of the AFL/VFL History – after the West Coast in 1988 – to overcome their opponents in each of their first twelve quarters in one season.

“You can beat them in many ways, but without a doubt we will try to stop their score,” King said.

“I feel like we had a really strong defensive group able to do it. It will be an important part.”

The defense of Gold Coast resisted well despite having lost the key pillar Charlie Ballard due to an end of the season knee injury, renouncing only 55.5 points per game in their victories on West Coast and Melbourne.

The Suns are on alert for the “three -headed monster” by Adelaide of Darcy Fogarty, Riley Thilthorpe and Taylor Walker, who combined for nine goals in the third round.

But Queensland’s dress is also building its own version while King develops cohesion with Talls ineperienced Ethan Read and Jed Walter in attack.

“At the moment I am really confident in our mix of attackers,” King said.

“Read and Walter both had great off-season and took another step in the pre-stage.

“Without a doubt we will have a lot of good football from them this season and we hope that the three of us can put some big scores on the scoreboard.

“Over time, build connections with those around you and as a group forward we have some young people and new faces.

“The more football we play together, the better we will get.”

Adelaide will be without Josh Rachele (ribs) and Matt Crouch (managed) for their journey to the north, remembering Luke Nankervis and Lachlan Murphy.

The Gold Coast ruled the little striker Ben Ainsworth (Quad) and left Nick Holman out.
