Finals beckon, but Suns keep their Witts about them
Jarrod Witts' rucking wares are being heralded as All-Australian worthy, while Gold Coast, in reach of a top-four finish, keep their feet in new AFL territory. The Suns' historic 66-point QClash victory on Saturday gave them, with five regular-season games to play, a club-best 12th win this season. Four of those games come against teams not in finals contention, leaving the Suns in the hunt for a top-four finish in what would be their maiden post-season foray. Witts, two games shy of his 200th AFL game, has been critical in that run. The 32-year-old helped turn the screws against the Brisbane Lions on Saturday as the Suns' midfield upstaged the Lions' for their biggest QClash win. Unprompted, Hardwick launched a campaign for the ruckman post-game. "Can I make a statement about Jarrod Witts? Can we start having a conversation?" he posed when asked about the performance of Witts' star on-ballers Matt Rowell and Noah Anderson. "I watched TV the other day, they had a list of ruckmen that are in the mix. Go and have a look at what our guy's done to all those guys." Before Saturday, Witts had collected the seventh-most coaches' votes of all ruckmen, his 26 dwarfed by leaders Brodie Grundy (65) and Max Gawn (59). "Have the conversation about how good this guy's become,": Hardwick said. "These guys (Suns midfielders) should be buying him coffee every day. Unbelievable. "I'd love to have him as All-Australian … I wouldn't pick another one." The Suns play Richmond, Carlton, GWS, Essendon and Port Adelaide in the run to a potential first finals campaign. Only the Giants are a shot of joining them, although emotion will be high when the Power play their final game under long-time mentor Ken Hinkley. "It is every side's challenge, isn't it," Hardwick said. "The sides we are talking about, they are going to have their moments and they are going to play well. "At various stages we haven't beaten those sides we should have beaten and that is going to be our next challenge. "If we concentrate firmly on the next shift, where our feet are right now, we are going to be OK."

Reaction key after Lions' rare QClash fizzer
Brisbane Lions coach Chris Fagan has reason to believe the side's QClash fizzer against Gold Coast was an anomaly as focus quickly shifts on their tough run to September. The defending premiers are yet to officially book their finals ticket after falling to 13-5-1, thanks to a humbling 66-point loss to the Suns on the Gold Coast on Saturday. The 20.10 (130) to 9.10 (64) romp was the Suns' biggest derby win and gave them a club-best 12 wins this season as they seek a maiden finals foray. Usually dominant in the midfield, the Lions were outgunned as ruckman Jarrod Witts provided good service to Matt Rowell, Noah Anderson and Alex Davies. It was only the Suns' second win in the past 14 QClash contests. Fagan estimated fans "wouldn't have seen a performance like that too often in the past six years". "Our last eight games we've won six and lost two. We've been up for a fair while and tonight we were really poor in every facet of the game, to be honest," he said. The Lions face table-topping Collingwood at the MCG on Saturday, then host Sydney, travel to face Fremantle and finish the regular season at the Gabba against Hawthorn. "It is hard to stay up every week, there's no doubt about that," Fagan said. "That's part and parcel of the challenge. "How you reflect on it really is how you react next week and how you play next week. "We've got a pretty hard game ... I'm confident our group will respond, they normally do." Utility Conor McKenna, who had won his spot back in the side this week, will have scans after being substituted at halftime with a hamstring injury.
