LIVE AFL: Suns’ stunning early blitz while Roos ‘being walked around’ as mega draft haul looms
August 26th, 2023 2:10 pm
Buoyed by the recent appointment of triple premiership coach Damien Hardwick, Gold Coast has a golden chance to equal a club-best 10 season wins when it takes on 18th-placed North Melbourne, which could soon hold a juicy draft bounty. The Kangaroos are on a 20-match losing streak and, with a loss, would finish on the bottom of the AFL ladder, which would hand them Pick 1. There’s also a chance they end up with Pick 2 — as compensation for losing free agent Ben McKay — while they could also gain exclusive access to gun Tasmanian midfielder Ryley Sanders, who’s widely regarded as a top-10 prospect according to most scouts.
The Suns this week appointed Hardwick as coach for the next six years, but will have their final game under interim coach Steven King, who’s keen to lead the Suns to a 10th win for the season, which would equal their 2022 record.
