Tom Lynch has kicked a clutch goal with just four seconds remaining to snatch Gold Coast a thrilling draw against West Coast at Metricon Stadium on Saturday night.
The SUNS' stand-in skipper took a magnificent pack mark and then went back and coolly slotted the goal from 35m to level the scores at 12.11 (83) to 11.17 (83).
The siren sounded as soon as the ball was bounced on resumption.
It was a thrilling encounter with five lead changes in the last quarter alone, before Lynch's pressure goal split the points for the first time this season.
He finished with four goals for the night, while Harley Bennell starred in the midfield with 28 disposals and a goal.
West Coast frittered away their chances in the final term particularly, kicking four straight behinds before Lynch's late heroics.
Jack Darling and Mark Hutchings missed gettable set shots and kept the SUNS alive.
Despite missing their entire starting midfield through injury, the SUNS were magnificent for all four quarters.
They didn't play like a team sitting second last with just two wins.
After 39 disposals in his comeback match last week against Adelaide, Bennell backed up with another terrific display.
Brandon Matera and Aaron Hall played their best matches of the season with extra time in the midfield, and Steven May blanketed SUNS tormenter Josh Kennedy, keeping him to just two goals.
Jack Martin played his first game since round nine and was influential during the first half, setting up goals for Bennell and Lynch with deft handpasses.
Rory Thompson hobbled off with an ankle and was subbed at half-time.
GOLD COAST 2. 2 5. 5 8. 9 12. 11 (83)
