As we head into the penultimate game of the season, Gold Coast’s Match Committee has already been forced into at least two changes.

Ruckman Dan Currie and Sean Lemmens both suffered injuries last week that will see them come out of the team.

The Optomo Injury Report confirmed that Pearce Hanley is expected to line up for the SUNS should he pass a fitness test later this week.

A stirring victory from the SUNS’ NEAFL team last week has seen a number of players put their hand up for selection.

Inside midfielder Mitch Hallahan was adjudged best-afield, responding strongly to his omission from the senior team as he went on to gather 38 disposals and a goal.

Should a goal kicking forward be required, it will be hard to look past Jarrad Grant, who kicked seven goals for the game.

Whether small forward Brandon Matera, who made his return after a long injury layoff, has done enough to prove his match fitness remains to be seen.

Midfielders Brayden Fiorini, Jesse Lonergan and Matt Shaw all found plenty of the footy and were important in winning the midfield battle.

The SUNS’ ruck stocks are looking bare, with Currie joining Jarrod Witts and Tom Nicholls on the sidelines.

Despite spending most of his time this season as a key position player at either end of the field, upgraded rookie Keegan Brooksby looks to be the man most likely to step up.
