Gold Coast's slide has continued, thrashed by Geelong in a 45-point procession at GMHBA Stadium.
Expected to be a premiership contender following their maiden finals appearance last season, the Suns slumped to a third-straight defeat in another listless performance away from home.
Up by 12 points late in the first quarter, Gold Coast conceded the next seven goals as Geelong celebrated their 'White Out' night with a 15.15 (105) to 8.12 (60) win in front of 30,276 fans.
The scoreboard might have remained respectable until late in the game, but the Suns never looked like challenging a team they destroyed by 56 points in March.
"We kicked relatively poor at goal, missed opportunities of connection inside 50, and they kicked some unbelievable goals," Suns coach Damien Hardwick said.
