Gold Coast’s number 3 player Christian Petracca scored his third goal.

This was ridiculously easy for the Suns. Any of the three players could have scored this goal.

Cats can’t do anything right. Yes, they are missing a few, but considering Patrick Dangerfield, Jeremy Cameron and Tyson Stengle are forwards and worn out in midfield, you wonder what they can add.

The difference increased to 54 points with only 10 minutes left in the third quarter.

As Peter Ryan observed on the Gold Coast: This is the vintage Petracca on display here tonight. He’s kicked three and this is heading for a 100 point knock.

Gold Coast 13.7 (85) Geelong 4.7 (31)
