Draft Profile
SNAPSHOT: “A hard-running accumulator with clean stoppage craft and the agility to find effective exits.” – Michael Alvaro
One of the most esteemed prospects among a stacked group of Queensland talent this year is Beau Addinsall. The Burleigh Bombers junior began racking up accolades at a young age, earning Under 15 and 16 All-Australian status to go with his Alan McLean Medal (Pool B best and fairest) at the 2023 Under 16 National Championships.
It set the platform for a highly anticipated bottom-age campaign, where Addinsall continued to thrive. He took out the Suns Academy’s Most Valuable Player award and went on to make his VFL debut, turning out seven times at state league level in 2024. He also represented Queensland en route to best on ground honours in the National Under 17 Futures game on AFL Grand Final day.
Given his reputation and form, Addinsall was duly selected in the AFL Academy for 2025. He spent a six-week block training with the senior Suns and overcame a hamstring complaint to hit the ground running in season proper. Though, another hamstring strain restricted the 18-year-old to just one Allies appearance at the National Championships.
Addinsall got back into the swing of things late in the year, returning via the VFL to clock up a total of five more games at the level. He ended his year on a high note, notching 26 disposals and eight clearances against GWS in the Suns’ final game of the season. It was a clear personal-best haul for the midfielder, who had eight disposal hauls in the teens from his previous 11 VFL matches.
