Noah Anderson
Logs 28 disposals in loss
Anderson recorded 28 disposals (16 kicks, 12 handballs) and made five marks during Saturday's 136-49 loss to Sydney in Round 23.
ANALYSIS
Anderson finishes out his season in good shape after an inconsistent stretch between May in July. Overall, his average of 22.6 disposals per game in 2021 is definitely something to work with as the Suns get healthier.

Touk Miller
Another big game
Miller logged one behind to go with 37 disposals (14 kicks, 23 handballs) and made nine tackles during Saturday's 136-49 loss to Sydney in Round 23.
ANALYSIS
Miller spent the final weeks doing most of the work by himself and closed out the season with another massive performance. Should the rest of the lineup return healthy in 2022, it will be fun to watch if Miller retains his importance to the lineup.

Jack Bowes
Out against Swans
Bowes (thigh) will miss Round 23 against Sydney.
ANALYSIS
Bowes picked up an injury during Round 22 and it will keep him out for the final game of the season for Gold Coast. After a hot start made him one of the top defenders in fantasy, Bowes struggled over much of the season, so he'll hope to do better while the whole team is healthier in 2022.

Brayden Fiorini
Only Sun to top 100 fantasy points
Fiorini amassed 30 disposals, six marks, five clearances and a goal and tackle each Sunday as Gold Coast fell to Essendon 98-30 at GMHBA Stadium.
ANALYSIS
Fiorini matched teammate Touk Miller as Gold Coast's leader in touches and clearances and set a new career-high for rebound 50s in Saturday's contest. Those numbers left the 23 year-old midfielder the only member of the Suns roster to top 100 fantasy points in the loss and finds Fiorini having now recorded a minimum of 101 points in each of his team's last seven outings.
