Good to see Sam Fletcher has something to fall back to in case his AFL career doesn't work out.

I'm debating about flying in for this, spend the weekend. Or come sometime during the footy season. Decisions.

If I had to chose it’d definitely be a game

Yeah.. probably a bit late notice now, especially with flights. Probably would cost me a fortune for a couple days lol

GOLD COAST SUNS

A few tweaks that coach Stuart Dew experimented with late in 2019 are set to become more regular this year. Gun tall Jack Lukosius, who played back during the second half of last season, has been training with the defensive group this off-season, meaning we’ll see plenty of his accurate kicking and rebounding off half-back. Lachie Weller, who spent the first half of 2019 as a wing/half-back before moving into an on-ball role, has spent the summer with the midfield group. Also expect recruit Hugh Greenwood to play mainly on the ball but float forward occasionally.

Who’s going to the beach session tomorrow morning?
I’ll be there with the family, so it’s worth the trip just to meet us

good luck and have a good one

Well can’t say the boys aren’t ripped

Swallow looks like the hulk and surprisingly Rowell isn’t far behind which is extraordinary

GHS and Brodie not so much

chemistry in the group is excellent

I'm surprised about Brodie. I thought he was really bulking up. That's not always a good thing though. Some blokes get carried away with adding muscle. Jesse Lonergan seemed to take it too far.

Did the Irishman need a life jacket?!

 

[kreglze]

Lonergan used to be absolutely huge, could run through a wall, but he just couldn't get about the field and it eventually hurt his prospects.

Injured hand, didn’t train. Powell also on the sideline ( knee is still not 100% ) and Harbrow ( Hammy )

also no 2MP at all

Brodie looked to be carrying a little bit of weight but that could be deceiving as most of the boys are ripped

Some players are stripping their weight. There is an article about it in GCBulletin. Wright is also much leaner.

Ellis was told by the Tigers midway through the 2019 season that he would be moved on, a decision that opened the door for his shift to Queensland where he will spend the next five years playing for the Suns.
“I was pretty shaken up and upset when I was told,” Ellis said.

“But it’s a business at the end of the day and these sorts of things happen.

The 26-year-old, who consulted with former Suns and current Tigers Dion Prestia and Tom Lynch before making the move, said he wanted to bring the same fun approach to football that enabled Richmond to go from a club under siege to one that has won two of the past three premierships.


The approach was made famous by vision of Tigers player Jack Higgins telling jokes between quarters.


It may be harder to cut-through at the Gold Coast where wins have been scarce but Ellis said that is exactly why they needed it.
“Football is just a game, it doesn’t define us as people,” Ellis said.


“It’s our job at the end of the day. I remember when I was playing football when I was young it was all about fun.

Brodie and Wright look like two of our 'heavier runners' so being a bit leaner will help them. As long as Peter continues to develop strength in the air.

 

[Peel67skin]

If Brodie need to spend time on the forward line he needed to be less heavier.

 

[Jen2310]

“I want to bring a bit of fun up here as well.”


In the three months he’s been at the club the winger has already made an impact.


He’s a larrikin amongst the group and doesn’t mind trading banter with his teammates, which is a result of how comfortable he’s been made to feel in his new environment.


“Everyone’s been fantastic,” he said.


“The boys have made the transition as easy as possible – I didn’t think it would be this easy.


“They’ve welcomed me with open arms and I’m absolutely loving it.


“I think there’s some really good signs in the group and I think it’s going to be an exciting year for the SUNS.

He’s probably a top bloke but all I ever see of him on Instagram is down in Melbourne with his Richmond buddies...

probably totally wrong and I don’t know him at all but can’t help but feel like we bought a lemon.

happy to be proven wrong - sure I will

Nothing wrong with that. He spent 8 years with them, so of course they are close. But he has changed this group already. Doesn't mean he doesn't love this team. What he brings cannot be learnt or taught.
I do believe he'll prove you wrong.

 

[TheSunGod]

I see Brandon as the type of player who is willing and able to do the heavy lifting (running and tackling) for us which will hopefully help allow our young guns more freedom to show their wares.
