Despite the loss to Brisbane in QClash16, Gold Coast coach Stuart Dew was pleased with his side’s endeavour and intensity at the contest.

And with a clean bill of health after the game, there’s every chance that the SUNS’ match committee will opt to go on with an unchanged line up against Geelong this Saturday.

Should they choose to make a change, young midfielders Jacob Dawson and Josh Schoenfeld impressed at NEAFL level and were named in the best.

Both players have had stints in the senior side this season and would be keen to show their wares one final time in 2018.

Darcy Macpherson made a successful return via the NEAFL and racked up 20 touches.

The small forward last featured at AFL level in round 5 but may have put his hand up for selection after last weekend’s performance.

Key defender Rory Thompson remains a test once again and may feature if can prove that he has overcome a hamstring injury.
