GWS Giants host Gold Coast Suns in Round 22 of the 2026 AFL season at Manuka Oval on Sunday. Read on for our full match preview, insider Round 22 AFL betting tips, and best AFL Premiership odds.
Things have gone from bad to worse for the Suns as they stare down the harsh reality of a 10-game losing streak.
It was a familiar script against Melbourne last week, with Gold Coast running out of steam in the final term and again conceding far too much damage from centre clearances.
Something clearly isn’t clicking on the coaching front, and while Damien Hardwick’s future may be under scrutiny, the Giants are focused on mounting a late charge back into the Wild Card conversation.
Snapping a two-game losing run against Port Adelaide was a positive step for GWS, with encouraging signs at both ends of the ground. Jake Stringer hit the scoreboard, while Lachie Whitfield filled the stat sheet across almost every key category.
Still, despite their recent record, the Suns should offer more resistance than Port, particularly with Jed Walter and Matt Rowell beginning to find some form.
With Brisbane and St Kilda to come, this may be Gold Coast’s best chance to finally end their horror run.
Prediction: Suns to Cover (+18.5 Points)
Value: Suns to Win @ $3.05
