Draw may be on mark

SUNS coach Stuart Dew admits a draw could have been a fitting result after an enthralling QClash last night.

A week after both sides copped losses, the two Queensland rivals responded with a contest that could have been a deadlock should Cam Rayner’s buzzer-beater have sailed through.

“We had to respond after last week and I think Brisbane did as well. It was a great game down to the last kick, almost a draw. Maybe that would have been fitting,” Dew said.

Gold Coast’s Touk Miller (21 touches) was magnificent, earning the Marcus Ashcroft Medal for best on ground.

His running battle with Brisbane’s All-Australian Dayne Zorko was worth the price of admission alone but it was his desperate dive that spoiled a potential match-winning Jacob Allison goal with two minutes left which summed up his game.

“It may be Round 5 but some of those moments are special and should be celebrated,” Dew said of Miller’s effort.
