Carlton host Gold Coast Suns in Round 20 of the 2026 AFL season at Marvel Stadium on Saturday. Read on for our full match preview, betting tips, and best odds.
Can the Blues bounce back and keep their Wildcard dreams alive?
Josh Fraser’s incredible run at the helm took another dive last weekend with a 21-point loss to Collingwood coming after their poor performance against the Hawks.
The good news is that Adam Cerra looks likely to play after coming off early in the match, while Nic Newman reaches 150 games in this one and remains a driving force out of defence with 22.6 disposals for the year.
Gold Coast (7-11) have lost eight straight – the second-longest losing streak of Damien Hardwick’s coaching career – and their finals hopes are all but done.
Touk Miller keeps finding the ball (25.2 disposals a game), but the Suns’ form slump has been a team-wide issue that is not going away anytime soon.
A difficult one to predict considering the issues at both clubs, so it wouldn’t surprise if it went either way.
