Broadbeach held on to third on the ladder behind Labrador and Palm BeachCurrumbin with a tough away win against Western Magpies at Chelmer.
The Cats won by 14.11 (95) to 11.14 (80) on the back of a big second quarter with a slight wind at their backs, a term that yielded 8.4 to 6.6 for a 29-point half-time lead.
“We can turn it on but we can also turn it off,” coach Brett Andrews said of the hot and cold performance.
“We were in trouble kicking with the wind in the last quarter when the Magpies got to within seven points.
“Still, we’re starting to play better and we’re getting better every week. A good sign lately has been when we seem to be in trouble we are able to find something.”
Andrews said on-ballers Jason Sharp, Southportlisted Blake Erickson and Benji Neal were the pick of an even side. Another Southport-listed player, centre half-forward Jake Calvert, kicked three goals.
