With three rounds to go in this yearโs home and away season, the Gold Coast Suns sit in an all too familiar spot at the bottom of the ladder. Despite a positive start to the season, which saw them claim wins over the Dockers, Dogs and Blues, the Suns have failed to register a win since Round 4.
With the club now in its ninth season, and having failed to make a single finals appearance, much has been attempted to assist the Suns out of the footballing abyss. Despite countless first-round draft picks, a brand-new stadium, and the prowess of one of the greatest players of all-time in Gary Ablett Jnr, the Suns have yet to spark into any sort of successful action.
Looking ahead to next season, here are five players who could give the Suns some much-needed shine.
Stephen Hill
Having battled quad problems for the past two seasons, Bradley Hill has struggled to fit into a Fremantle side he was once considered a crucial player for. Off contract at the end of this season, the Suns have been linked to Hill heavily throughout this season, with Hillโs brother Brad heavily linked with a move away from the Dockers as well. The former number three draft pick would add pace and experience to the Sunsโ midfield; with a potential deal likely to provide Hill with some long-term security.
