Gold Coast will channel the hard-knock career of unfashionable forward Nick Holman as the stalling Suns navigate what coach Damien Hardwick thinks is an inevitable rite of passage.
Hardwick's side slumped to 7-7 on Friday after a fourth-straight loss, with Hawthorn's 16-point win built on centre clearance dominance and three ruthless, quick-fire runs of goals.
Holman, 31, was recalled for his third game this year, kicking a late goal and providing trademark pressure and composure in his 150th AFL game.
