Mabior Chol did his chances of extending his AFL career no harm, playing a huge part in Gold Coast's 15-point preliminary final win over Box Hill on Saturday as it advanced to the VFL Grand Final for the first time.

The out-of-contract forward kicked five goals from 11 marks and 16 disposals in a performance that will certainly catch the eye of recruiting staff elsewhere, if not that of new Suns coach Damien Hardwick.

Likewise, Jim 'Frosty' Miller Medal winner Chris Burgess kept his hopes for a new home alive with three goals to add to a burgeoning season tally.

Second-string ruckman Ned Moyle was also impressive with 19 disposals, 49 hitouts and a game-high nine clearances, while Connor Blakely had eight clearances from 22 disposals.

Youngster James Tsitas was busy with 24 disposals and six clearances, Alex Davies had 23 and five, while Jeremy Sharp took 10 marks to go with his 19 touches and Charlie Constable finished with 25 disposals.

There were plenty more senior-listed Suns in action: Elijah Hollands had 22 disposals and one goal, Bodhi Uwland gathered 16 touches and Joel Jeffrey 19.

Alex Sexton kicked two goals and rookie Oskar Faulkhead slotted one.

Others involved in the win included Hewago Oea (14 disposals, six marks), Jy Farrar (14, seven), Caleb Graham (10, nine), Lloyd Johnston (12 disposals), Sam Day (nine) and Sandy Brock (six).
