CRACKING THE CODE ... AFL with Karmichael Hunt

AN awful third quarter cost the Gold Coast Suns a VFL win against the Casey Scorpions down in Cranbourne yesterday, going down by four points, 18.11 (119) to 17.13 (115).

After leading at halftime by a whopping 44 points, 13.10 (88) to 7.2 (44), the Suns came out flat and allowed Melbourne Demons AFL regular Brad Miller to run rampant.

THE Gold Coast Suns were brave but fell agonisingly short of pulling off what would have been a great comeback win over Geelong at Skilled Stadium today.

In a game played in good conditions, the Suns were down by 29 points at quarter-time but fought back to hit the front in the third term before being edged out in the last, 13.10 (88) to 11.5 (71).

EVERY footballer dreams of winning a game with a kick after the final ­siren, but few get the opportunity.

Zac Smith had his chance on Saturday and made no mistake.

A 40m kick from the Gold Coast ruckman had just enough elevation to make it across the point line and give the Gold Coast a dramatic 13.12 (90) to 13.11 (89) victory over the Bendigo Bombers at Cazlays.

HE is probably a bit biased but Cairns native Charlie Dixon would love it if Cazalys becomes a home away from home for new AFL franchise the Gold Coast.

Dixon has been named at centre-half forward for the Gold Coast ahead of their VFL match against the Bendigo Bombers at Cazalys tomorrow.

KARMICHAEL Hunt's on-again, off-again VFL appearance in Cairns is on again after a ''very effusive father'' prompted a change of heart from Gold Coast coach Guy McKenna.

McKenna had decided to rest his star recruit from Saturday’s game between the Gold Coast and Bendigo Bombers at Cazalys despite Hunt’s eagerness to continue his Aussie rules education in the Far North.
