In the Back Pocket: Gold Coast Suns Upset Brisbane Lions?
09/09/2025|In The Back Pocket|AFL Tips & Predictions<p>Gold Coast's recent form suggests they're capable of challenging Brisbane Lions despite being underdogs. The Suns previously defeated Brisbane by 11 goals in round 20, proving they can match them on their day.</p>
<p>Brisbane enters as favourites following their strong season form, but Gold Coast brings momentum from their emotional Perth victory. The longest trip in AFL history could either fuel their determination or drain their energy reserves.</p>
<p>The "ram raid" strategy has impressed observers and could prove pivotal. This match represents Gold Coast's grand final opportunity, creating potential for either an inspired upset or a heavy defeat if they can't maintain intensity.</p>
<p>Brisbane's rebound capacity makes them dangerous opponents, yet Gold Coast's recent 11-goal victory margin demonstrates their ability to compete at the highest level when executing their game plan effectively.</p>
