PBC must start them young. Think Joyce and Scheer debuted same year (Scheer's a year younger) when Daryn Cresswell was coach. He's now down at Wodonga and has just had Sam Murray rookied to Sydney from his team - maybe he has the midas touch....?Just on the Gold Coast News. Joyce was born in Victoria and moved to Tweed Heads at 2 years old. His father is a Richmond supporter and pushed him to play footy. Made his denior debut for PBC at 16.
Must have had some issue with Budarick - either that or they couldn't justify picking him and MacPherson as rookies - both are height deficient. Would have liked another Queenslander but the Western Bulldog connection prevailed...Possibly the attitude of Budarick went against him too. We are recruiting players heavily based on their personality and attitude, so if his physical performance was as good as we saw yet wasn't drafted I'd say there's a good reason. In saying that, I'm a huge Budarick fan and am a little annoyed we didn't get him.
Pleased we got Joyce though.
And your a moderator?budarick always came across to me as a bit of a figjam haha.
And your a moderator?
Can Budarick play as an overager anywhere? For Qld for instance in the 18s or na..
Better off playing seniors?
Anyhows.. I don't see much problem with the Suns drafting Gold Coast talent..
It hasn't been there.. And won't really be there until they invest enough money and resources into the academy..
Next year we look to have 2 gems who have been on the radar from day dot.
Really we should be producing atleast 1 top 30 pick a year to justify spending..
Joyce actually mentioned his football coach at PBC High (Chad Owens) convinced him to quit Coolangatta and join the PBC Lions as he was also a coach at the Lions. The interesting thing about the PBC Lions is that the club is literally next door to the high school. This is something the Suns could really take advantage of. PBC High is well known for producing top line rugby league players like Darius Boyd but I have no doubt they could also produce AFL players, given the correct resources. Also, this bloke once suited up for the PBC LionsPBC must start them young. Think Joyce and Scheer debuted same year (Scheer's a year younger) when Daryn Cresswell was coach.

You have your team as Gold Coast yet write this ? really bizarre post considering we spend 1 million a year nurturing young elite talent , to give them a pathway into the AFL , Suns spent more hours in the community then any other club last season mainly at local junior level and have just given young palmy product Joyce a shot at the big time after being overlooked by all clubs in the draft. Or is it a case your bitter someone you know has'nt been picked up ?Complete lack of respect for a young Gold Coast local making his way on his football journey, pretty typical of the Suns and their treatment of local GC football..
hahahahOur recruiting team has a lot to answer for if they've passed on the next Nathan Buckley.
Anyone know when the rookies arrive at the club?
Waiting for the website to provide some interview material for our newest players.

Been awfully quiet the past 2-3weeks..
All we've seen are 2 5 sec snap chats and the draftee interviews.
