The Gold Coast dominated the game but they left it until late to steal the lead from Fremantle, the final score 7.19.61 to 8.10.58 at Metricon Stadium.

The Dockers had a late chance entering their forward 50, but Suns defender Sam Collins saved the day for the Gold Coast, the irony being the young defender was once on the Dockers list.

Bradley Hill worked tirelessly for his 32 disposals while Travis Colyer, Cam McCarthy and Matt Taberner booted two goals each.

For the victors Alex Sexton provided headaches all afternoon on his way to 4 goals and 5 behinds, while Jarrod Harbrow and David Swallow combined for 62 possessions.
