Pre Season SnapShot - Gold Coast

HTM · December 30, 2010, 11:23:29 PM

GOLD COAST

Medical room: At this stage, number eight draft pick Josh Caddy looks like being the only Gold Coast player unavailable for the NAB Cup. "He went in and had minor groin surgery in mid-December, but he should be right by the start of the home and away season," Suns football operations manager Marcus Ashcroft said.

Who's burning: Many football watchers were surprised that Gold Coast used its only pick in the pre-season draft to recruit Nathan Ablett, rather than selecting the former Geelong forward in the rookie draft. But while Ablett struggled to win a place in the Suns' VFL side last season, the club insists he's been very impressive at training since his brother Gary arrived in south-east Queensland.

Draftee watch: South Australian key forward Sam Day, who was the Suns' third pick in the national draft, headed off on a pre-planned two-week holiday to the United States shortly after he moved to the Gold Coast.

I'm going to have quite a few GC players. All of whom should be rookies though.

Reckon Smith will be in most sides as the reserve ruck.

Barlow 21 · January 03, 2011, 10:18:13 AM

Smith would have to be picked for a chance at the cash. No Ablett for me!

Similar players to me but I really don`t like Kraks and Brennan.

Maca24 · January 07, 2011, 03:01:54 PM

Kraks is unlikely for me barlow but i just want to see how he fits into the structure. I do think that brennan could tear it up.

bomberboy0618 · January 07, 2011, 03:14:47 PM

brennan could be a good smokie :-\

Barlow 21 · January 07, 2011, 05:23:28 PM

Brennan is very un-consistent though. :P
