What will 2023 look like for the Gold Coast Suns?
Having yet to play finals, heading into their 13th season, perhaps they will finally do so in 2023.
After all, equalling your highest ladder position and win tally should only see improvement from then on.
With coach Stuart Dew receiving a two-year contract extension, the faith in him is there, so the club will be hoping they're rewarded for said faith.
So with the Suns looking to make finals for the first time, we cast our own eye across them and ask five burning questions ahead of their 2023 campaign.
2. How will the tall forwards play together?
When Ben King went down with an ACL injury before last season, many questioned the scoring power of the Suns.
They still functioned efficiently in his absence however, with recruits Mabior Chol and Levi Casboult combining for 79 goals, with Chol kicking 44.
King in 2021 kicked 44 himself, and with his return incoming, questions on where all three fit in the team arise.
With Chol breaking out and the return of King, Casboult seems the most likely to fall to the wayside.
However, his recruitment as a depth option paid off last season with 35 goals.
Could the former Blue make a return to defence? A position he arguably played his best footy at during his time at Carlton.
We all know his capability in the air, crashing into packs and marking, so doing so in defence adds another big body down back.
