Reigning premiers Collingwood Magpies (8-4-2) will look to register their first win away from home this season when they make the trip to face Gold Coast Suns (7-6) at People First Stadium on Saturday.
This season, the Suns have a 0-7 record on the road, while they hold the reverse 7-0 record at home. Their last two losses came away from home, to St Kilda by three points and Fremantle by 20 points.
Their undefeated home record will be tested by Collingwood, who have just lost once since Round 2 and have moved into the top four with a two-point lead.
However, their most recent victory before the bye was not very impressive, as they conceded 86 points in the first half against the bottom-of-the-ladder Kangaroos. They did, however, controversially steal four points to secure the seventh-largest come-from-behind victory in VFL/AFL history.
