The Suns were boosted by six goals from Harley Bennell. The Suns overtook the Cats in the third quarter with four unanswered goals to finish off the quarter, taking a ten point lead into the final term. From then on it was a belting, Gold Coast quickly pushing the lead over 20 points, the Cats thereafter kicking a couple goals but the margin never dropping below 21 points. For the Cats Shane Kersten in his first game kicked two goals with his first two kicks, finishing with three. Tom Hawkins, Steven Motlop and Charlie also finished with three.
