Gold Coast Suns odds
The Gold Coast Suns have made little to no progress since joining the Australian Football League in 2011.
The AFL’s pet project has failed to make the finals and, despite being awarded a bevy of first-round draft selections in its formative years, has fallen down the ladder instead of climbing it.
After signing the game’s best player, Gary Ablett Jr, there was hope that the expansion team would be able to capture some of the growing Queensland market and deliver on the field.
To date, the club has failed on both fronts. A large majority of its young and senior talent has departed the club, which has sacked two coaches in seven years.
Worst of all, Ablett – the club’s first captain and the best player of the last two decades – has returned to Geelong to finish his glorious career.
Is there any hope on the horizon for the Suns? Certainly not in the short term. With new coach Stuart Dew taking the reins and bringing in fresh and talented youth through the draft, the Suns will hope to show some promising signs for the future.
Let’s take a look at where we can find value in this year’s AFL betting markets.

Best Gold Coast Suns bets for the 2018 AFL season
Where are the best Gold Coast bets in the AFL futures markets for 2018?
Click on the tabs below to get more analysis on these markets:
- Don’t bother. A meteorite is more likely to cause human extinction on planet Earth than Gold Coast is to win the AFL premiership in 2018. Spend your money elsewhere, this club is more than five years away from competing to play finals, let alone premierships.
- The Gold Coast are at the longest odds in the competition to make the finals in 2018 and for good reason. They’re no good. Ablett has left, their current captain and best player Tom Lynch is almost out the door and their midfield will consist of struggling veterans and young players. The Suns can’t do much worse than last year and should improve with Dew in charge, but they won’t win more than a handful of games.
- No Suns player is winning the Brownlow this year. Aaron Hall is the mostly likely to poll votes and is paying $151 to win the Brownlow, but his team simply won’t win enough games to help him have a chance to compete with the favourites.
- Surprisingly enough and perhaps depressingly for Gold Coast fans, the Suns, despite having a young list, don’t have any real Rising Star candidates this season. Will Brodie, the young midfielder who made his debut last season, is in the running at +2500 with Sportsbet.com.au, will need to have an outstanding season to out-shine the bigger names in this market.
- The one chance the Gold Coast have to pick up some silverware in 2018 is in the Coleman Medal. Suns captain Tom Lynch is paying $10 in Coleman Medal betting and has the ability to get the job done, despite the lack of supply and Gold Coast’s scoring troubles.
