Preview:
Speaking of thrillers, the next game probably wont be one. Geelong take on the Gold Coast, Saturday, 7.40pm at Simonds Stadium. Geelong will be almost impossibleto beat in this one, even though the Suns are playing OK at the moment. While they went down to Hawthorn by 26 points last week, Gary Ablett continued to dominate even in a losing team. Speaking of Ablett, his return to Simonds Stadium will probably be the highlight of this match, with the former Cat being the only real worry for the current Geelong team.

CEO Auld says he’s staying with Suns
Gold Coast chief executive Travis Auld claims he’s not interested in the vacant top job at former AFL club Essendon with his work only just starting at the Suns.
Auld was one of the first names linked with the CEO job at the Bombers after Ian Robson stepped down from the position last week.
But the ex-Bombers chief operating officer says he’s not keen on returning to Windy Hill with so many of his ambitions with the Suns unrealised.
“There’s been some really challenging times but we’re just starting to see the rewards now of our efforts as a football club, as a team, as a community,” Auld told reporters on Tuesday.
“In many ways it feels like the start line. There’s a lot of unfinished business here for me and for the footy club.
“I’m very happy doing what I’m doing.”
One man who is keen for Auld to continue on at the Suns is AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou.
“Travis is a great asset to the club, very experienced,” Demetriou said on the Gold Coast.
“He served a very lengthy and outstanding apprenticeship at the Essendon Football Club in all areas of the club.
“He’s exactly what this club (Suns) needed at the start and he deserves to be there at the end. He won’t be going anywhere.”
