I thought it might be fun to try this again in 2021 after the 2020 Alex Davies version was interrupted for multiple reasons. This year's academy spotlight will be on Cairns native Austin Harris. His father Errol Harris is also a Cairns native who played first class cricket for Tasmania while his mother is Vietnamese. Austin is a Cairns Saints junior and he moved down to the Gold Coast at the age of 15 to play club footy for the Palm Beach Currumbin Lions. In 2019 he was named Queensland's MVP and was selected in the All-Australian side for his performances at the U16 AFL National Championships. He is the only Queenslander to be selected in the 2021 NAB AFL Academy Squad. He switched QAFL clubs in 2020 to play for the Broadbeach Cats.
