GOLD Coast returns to home comforts for its clash against West Coast on Sunday.

The Suns (3-3) briefly threatened to match it with Sydney but were blown away whenever the pressure ramped up.

Veterans Dom Sheed and David Swallow will start as their club's substitutes for the match.

Gold Coast is yet to win on the road in three attempts this season but returns to the comforts of home where it has a 100 per cent record from as many matches.

West Coast (2-4) is riding a wave of momentum after beating an injury-hit Richmond then stunning crosstown rival Fremantle to clinch back-to-back victories for the first time since 2021.

The Suns are managing youngster Ethan Read and have omitted Bodhi Uwland, with Sam Day and Rory Atkins coming into their side.

West Coast has made three changes with Liam Ryan, Luke Edwards and Harry Edwards into its side, in place of Harley Reid (managed), Tom Barrass (suspended) and Noah Long (hip).

The Swans will be favourites to claim another win when they take on Hawthorn.

Hawthorn (1-5) avoided disaster with a comprehensive victory over North Melbourne as its midfield fired against their younger opponents.

The Hawks piled on eight goals in a blistering second term but impressed just as much with their pressure that will be crucial to trying to slow down a Sydney outfit that looks to move the ball with speed.

Sydney (5-1) had shown signs of fatigue as it limped to the bye but quickly burst back into form when putting Gold Coast to the sword.

The Swans have depth in all areas as the addition of Brodie Grundy and Taylor Adams adds to their assets at the contest, but there will be no room for complacency against the Hawks especially with a Sydney Derby to follow.

While Sydney is unchanged, Hawthorn has two big inclusions in Will Day and Mitch Lewis, who replace Massimo D'Ambrosio (managed) and Henry Hustwaite (omitted).
