Hawthorn can leap into top spot on the ladder with a win over the Suns.
And on paper, there doesn’t seem much the Suns can do to stop them.
Carrying an extreme injury list and a nine-game losing streak, Gold Coast would need to snap Hawthorn’s 17-game winning streak in Launceston.
But fresh off a bye, with rejuvenated game-breaker Aaron Hall back in the side, the Suns could be gearing up for the mother of all upsets.
Can they get it done? Or will the Hawks stroll to top spot?
