After keeping premiership captain Trent Cotchin quiet at the weekend, young Gold Coast midfielder Brayden Fiorini says he's itching to get another run-with role against Brisbane on Saturday night.

Fiorini was given the task of trailing Cotchin for all four quarters of the SUNS' 74-point loss to Richmond on Saturday and restricted the star midfielder to just 12 disposals.

Fiorini had 29 of his own, including 12 contested and six clearances.

While Touk Miller is an obvious candidate to tag Lions skipper Dayne Zorko after towelling him up when the teams met in round five, Fiorini says he'd love another negating role.

"I definitely would grab that with both hands," he said on Monday morning.

"Hopefully Dayne Beams or someone like that."

Beams is in All Australian contention and had another 33 touches in Brisbane's loss to Collingwood on Saturday night.

Although it would be unusual for Gold Coast to follow both Brisbane aces, Fiorini said he learned plenty from his afternoon on Cotchin.

"He's so selfless out there and really loud and demanding as a lot of people know, the leader he is.

"He was setting up every stoppage and his aggression around the stoppage and his two-way running.

"I would definitely want to do it again.

"He took me to the footy a bit, which was good. The last couple of weeks I haven't been able to find too much of it so it was good in that aspect, I wasn't just locking down on him. 

"He took me to the footy and I learned a lot off him, so hopefully in the last couple of games I get another opportunity."

With both teams anchored on four wins for the season, the winner of Saturday's QClash will assume the role of Queensland's top team for 2018.
