GOLD Coast coach Guy McKenna says the red-hot Suns can handle the hype.
The fifth-placed Suns have been the talk of the AFL since emphatically disposing of North Melbourne at Etihad Stadium last Sunday to claim their fifth win from seven outings this year.
The love-fest for the Suns has included predictions of a maiden finals berth, first place on the ladder at the halfway point of the season and a premiership in the next few years, proving they have arrived as a winning force in the competition.
McKenna said there was no chance of the Gold Coast taking the foot off the pedal with memories of regular thrashings in their first few seasons serving as motivation.
"The boys have had their fair share of copping it in the neck so when it comes time to handing it out, they'll be happy to do so,'' McKenna said.

"We've still got to learn how to step on an opposition's throat when we get the chance but that will come in time.
"There's a lot of hype around us now being 5-2 but apart from last weekend, we have beaten teams we probably should have beaten anyway.
"In our two losses, we got whacked when last year's grand finalists opened us up badly so we are aware of where we are at.
"It's a 22-game season so as far as we are all concerned, we've completed one lap and there's two very hard laps to go.

"The win over the Kangaroos gives us valuable things like confidence and belief but we are under no illusions about the challenge ahead.''
The Suns have the bye this week with a vast majority of players dispersing to their home states before they have to report back to training this Sunday.
Gold Coast have three winnable games after the bye against St Kilda (away), Western Bulldogs (home) and Adelaide (away) before a season-defining five-week stretch against Sydney (home), West Coast (away), Geelong (home), Hawthorn (away) and Collingwood (home).
The Suns also play cellar-dwellers Brisbane, the Bulldogs and St Kilda again.
Meanwhile, the Gold Coast are still consulting specialists over the best course of action to treat the knee injury suffered by ruckman Tom Nicholls last Sunday.
Nicholls has a PCL injury which could keep him sidelined for up to 12 weeks and the Suns are deciding whether or not he should have surgery.
Ruckman Zac Smith came off the long-term injury list yesterday and will play for the Suns reserves next weekend in his first game back from a knee reconstruction.
