GWS Giants v Gold Coast AFL Round 14: Live updates, SuperCoach scores, teams

Lachie Whitfield has regained his status as the Giants' kick-in king.
After taking seven kick-ins from rounds 11-13 – when coach Adam Kingsley experimented with Whitfield at half-forward for extended periods – he took 12 against Brisbane, the highest figure for the round (Eagle Tom McCarthy was the only other player in double figures). And Whitfield played on from all 12.
His starting position will be crucial on Sunday, with Champion Data statistics showing Gold Coast concedes more SuperCoach points to general defenders than any other team.
Allowing Whitfield and Lachie Ash to run free could be a disaster for the Suns as both teams try to cement their spot in the top eight.
In the second Sunday game, the Western Bulldogs will try to push into the eight when they face Richmond under the roof at Marvel Stadium.

Rowell shuns big offers to re-sign with Suns

Highly prized Gold Coast Suns midfielder Matt Rowell has turned down big offers from Victorian clubs and re-signed with the Suns for two years. The former number No.1 draft pick told the Suns on Friday he had decided to remain on the Gold Coast and would commit to a new two-year deal the details of which are still being finalised. So impressed was Rowell with the approaches by the Western Bulldogs and Collingwood that he personally rang coaches Craig McRae and Luke Beveridge to tell them of his decision to stay on the Coast.
