Gold Coast - Jack Bowes The Suns list is jam-packed with talent this season with several names looking primed for breakout seasons. Bowes could take centre stage in 2019 with the 21 year-old cruising into his third season on the Sunshine Coast. The former pick 10 put together a 16-game season in 2018, averaging 16.1 disposals from the Suns back flank before moving into the engine room at the back-end of the season. Look for Bowes to take on an even bigger role in the Suns' midfield this season.
