Essendon vs Gold Coast Preview


Essendon will be out to keep their finals hopes alive when they tackle the out of sorts Gold Coast Suns outfit at Marvel Stadium on Saturday evening.

The Bombers secured a thrilling one-point win over Fremantle in Round 21, coming back from 25 points down in the last quarter. They sit in 9th position on the ladder, just half a game behind 8th placed Carlton.

Gold Coast have lost their past three matches and are out of contention in 13th position with nine wins for the season. The Suns are yet to win on the road in 2024 and missed out against the West Coast Eagles last weekend, going down by 10 points.

That performance came despite the solid work of Matt Rowell and Noah Anderson in the middle of the ground with that pair picking up 30 disposals apiece.

Hard to have the Suns on the road for obvious reasons and too many of their players have gone missing when the heat is on in their matches. With Zach Merrett, Jake Stringer and Jy Caldwell all in solid form, the Bombers can remain in the hunt for the September action.

Bombers vs Suns Stats


  • Gold Coast have defeated Essendon just once in the past nine matches they have played.
  • The Bombers have never lost to the Suns at Marvel Stadium
  • Essendon have 11 wins and a draw from their 20 matches and sit in 9th spot on the ladder.
  • Gold Coast have a win-loss record of 9-11 and are 13th on the ladder.
