Snapped a few goals in play, which is good to see. A couple of solid marks as well.

Seems like a good replacement for Corbett. Good luck to him.

Should be jumper no.39 or 43

This might just be me but I always felt Corbett was slightly too short to play as a key forward when we needed him to. I remember watching Corbo play in one of the QClashes and at one point it was just him and Harris Andrews one-on-one in the goal square. You could quite clearly see Corbo was just giving up too much height to be competitive against what was most likely the premier key defender in the league at the time. Add a few more centimetres and who knows but 190cm just seemed slightly too short at the AFL level. Hopefully McLaughlin's 193cm frame can overcome that issue if required.

SUNShine at the end of McLaughlin’s dark journey

There were many days where he didn’t think his AFL dreams would ever eventuate which only made the day he was officially listed by the Gold Coast SUNS sweeter for Brodie McLaughlin.

I just love stories like this, you work so hard for many years, not knowing if it'll ever eventuate, especially once you get to 25 you would start to wonder. But he never gave up, which is power to him.

Second last picture reminds me of Jeremy cameron.
Pretty gangly, can take a mark and snap a goal.
Interested to see how he goes in the VFL.

Another signing to boost our VFL chances this year.

And he's needed it too; he's overcome a broken leg, a nerve problem in his hip and a broken shoulder blade in the past few years to make it this far.

From the fifth tier to the top, new Sun takes the long road

From Melbourne's outskirts to the Gold Coast via Ireland and Frankston, Brodie McLaughlin's journey to the AFL is one of persistance and triumph
