The Gold Coast SUNS face off against the Sydney Swans in the Anzac Round clash of the 2025 AFL season at the People First Stadium in Queensland.
After four straight wins, Gold Coast had a great opportunity to go top of the ladder last week, but they fell to an inexperienced Richmond side in an 80-69 defeat.
However, their tough run of matches begins now, as they face Finals hopefuls in their next seven games, starting with the Swans this weekend.
Meanwhile, the Sydney Swans are 2-4 in the season, and look a shadow of the team that dominated opponents last year. They have been depleted with injuries to their key personnel and have been poor in defence this season.
Sitting 14th on the ladder, they have only beaten Fremantle and North Melbourne so far. However, they will return to the People First Stadium, a venue where they have beaten Gold Coast in six of their seven meetings.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times, and the latest lineup news.
