Match report: Crows cruise to smash Suns
May 21, 2016 5:19 PM
It couldn't get any worse for the depleted Gold Coast. Or so they thought.
The Suns' horror injury tally became more dire as Adelaide earned a confidence - and percentage - boosting 75-point win at Metricon Stadium on Saturday.
Gold Coast already had so many injuries that just five AFL-listed players were available for reserves duty on Saturday. Yet the Suns' stocks will be truly tested next week after Darcy MacPherson (knee) and Callum Ah Chee (concussion) were taken from the field during the 22.17 (149) to 11.8 (74) romp in front of 11,692.
Suns coach Rodney Eade had plenty to worry about after the Gold Coast slipped to their sixth-straight loss. Taylor Walker's five goals helped Adelaide snap a two-game losing run to maintain a perfect 9-0 record against the Suns.
However, Eade won't have to fret over his future after Suns chairman Tony Cochrane said the mentor would hold the Gold Coast reins through to the end of 2017 at the very least.
"I'll put it in my blood if you like," Cochrane told SEN Radio on Saturday. "Rocket's got a three-year deal here and I am not a change merchant for the sake of change."
