Gold Coast's attacking surge threatens first QClash win
Gold Coast's scoring average jumped 21.8 points per game this season.
In seven QClash meetings, Gold Coast have won zero and lost six, with one draw. This season is their best chance yet.
The Suns' scoring average has jumped 21.8 points per game to 48.4 this year, and they're kicking 19.5 more points per game from turnovers. The return of Daisy D'Arcy from her 2025 ACL injury has been pivotal, with 52 intercepts, the most on the team.
Young midfielders Charlie Rowbottom and Maddy Brancatisano are running harder and winning back the ball more effectively. Gold Coast are also defending sharply, holding opposition to just 15.6 per cent goal efficiency and conceding 31 fewer points per game.
Brisbane, by contrast, is one of just four teams scoring fewer points than last season.
