Gold Cost host Melbourne at People First Stadium in a game that has big implication for the Demons hoping to jump back inside Top 6 and to keep touch with the Top 4. Gold Coast’s season is done on the back on 9 consecutive losses. They were once premiership favourites in the early stages of the season and will be keen to restore some pride and build a game style for the 2027 season. Recent form definitely points towards a Melbourne win but Gold Coast will likely pick up a scalp on the run home and a win at home would be no shock.
The Suns have omitted Caleb Lewis and managed Zeke Uwland. They bring in exciting youngsters Jake Rogers and Ethan Reid. Melbourne lose Kade Chandler and Latrelle Pickett to injury and have dropped Lukas Cooke. They recall Christian Salem, Caleb Windsor and Changkuoth Jiath.
