Academy: Gold Coast SUNS Gun Factory

[Matchu]

It's worth mentioning that Gladstone's Josh Brown booted 4 goals for Queensland two weeks ago against Gippsland in the TAC Cup. He is a Gold Coast Academy product and meets the five year academy drafting quota. Does anyone know how tall he is? If he's 6'3 or taller then I think he's definitely worth a look for the Suns.

Josh Brown
Not sure how tall he is , looks a big lad but can be deceiving.

I just hope he makes it so we can scream out his name.

Ablett visits Glendon Woosup's old room in this video. Maybe a sign they intend on drafting him? Would be a great story.

Well, Ablett may as well start kissing babies as well as doing the circuit. Perhaps he is getting into politics. He certainly isn't getting into football!

In all honesty, the season was probably gone once Gary pulled the pin after the losses to the Demons and the Saints. You've got him for at least another three and a half years. Don't you want Gaz to be ready before he returns? Bringing him back early this season would be an unncessary risk.

Its not early. 2 months ago doctors said the shoulder was structurally sound, he proved that by some knocks on it, and quit due to pain etc. 2months later, he refuses anti-inflamatories to speed recovery, refuses pain killers to allow him to play. I don't care if the takes the meds. Play through the pain then!

But what's the point? Why force your best player to play in pain against the Swans and Dockers? The chances of the Suns winning those games are remote, even with a fully fit Ablett. The team has been completely decimated by injuries and forcing your best player to do something he would really prefer not to do has the potential to cause disharmony.

Bringing him back in three and a half weeks against Carlton seems the much better option.

The Suns should have zone drafted Charlie Cameron who is now playing for Adelaide. He grew up in Mornington Island (far north west QLD) in the Suns zone and spent a few years in Brisbane before spending two years in WA developing his game in the WAFL. He is a Queenslander and I would have thought the Suns should have been able to zone him. Prodigious indigenous talent.

Of these only Budarick, Joyce , Filewood, Woosup and maybe West and Brown have had anything like regular representation in lead up matches. All the rest have either been looked at and rejected , been long term injured or are not in their draft year anyway.

Clearly the Suns Academy best performer to date has been Dyson Budarick who has been sharing on ball duties with Ben Keays. He also had 18 possessions in yesterdays NEAFL match against Sydney and should have been mentioned among the best in my view.

Who's that 16 year old that seems to regularly have a stint at those competitions before Suns home games? Apparently a part of our academy and the Suns seem to be constantly showcasing him.

I'm talking specifically about one guy though. He was there pregame at the Lions and Crows game. I think maybe against Collingwood too.

Is 16 but has a moustache.

Would love to know who he is.

Do you remember what his first name was ? Was he tall ?

I honestly have no idea - maybe Brody or something? haha.

He was shortish (maybe 170cm-ish), tanned, brown hair, moustache - looked like an athletic midfielder.

EDIT: remember thinking he looked like a younger Andrew Boston lol

 

[Donble]

Maybe Brody Haberfield

It almost makes a mockery of the zone/academy system that two of Brisbane's best players are Gold Coast juniors. I know Merrett wasn't a possibility but Zorko is the one that continues to haunt.
