The Gold Coast Suns are showing promising development with their new style of play and talented roster, which is different from previous years. However, this may spell trouble for players who were recently axed from the team.
These Gold Coast Suns are “nothing like” the versions of years past, and it’s set to take the club to heights its never seen before.This iteration of the Gold Coast Suns is “nothing like” the versions of years past, and you only have to look as far as their tantalising talent on display last Sunday to see why.
It means that those who were omitted at the selection table — including the likes of 2017 premiership player Brandon Ellis, 13-year Sun Alex Sexton, 34-year-old stalwart Levi Casboult, out-of-contract ruckman Ned Moyle and veteran retreads Ben Long and Rory Atkins — will struggle to find their way back to AFL level, you’d think.
Added 287-gamer Leigh Montagna: “They’ve got a strong system now that they’re under Damien Hardwick, and they’ve got some belief. I was impressed with their performance .” “There are young players that weren’t there, but there are four or five guys who were fringe players — Sam Flanders is one, who played 44 games in four years, in and out of the side.”
“Jack Lukosius, we’re saying to you: ‘Jack, you’ve played forward last year, you look like 30-40 goals, like you can make a good fist of it’ — Damien Hardwick’s looked at you and said ‘well, you’re not fitting into my forward line, so go back before you go out ’,” Melbourne legend Garry Lyon said“He went back , he had plenty of metres gained, but that pressure that ‘Bucks’ is talking about, he wouldn’t have that level of pressure in Hardwick’s forward line,” Brisbane icon Jonathan Brown added.
“Mac Andrew has played 21 over two years, but he was coming along, there was some injury involved in that. Fiorini was another that was in and out. Tom Berry played six last year — he’s played every game this year due to his pressure and his speed.
