Gold Coast Suns
As part of the AFL’s expansion, the Gold Coast Suns entered the AFL in 2011 with the competition’s 17th licence. A team of the Suns’ youth players competed in the 2009 TAC Cup and 2010 VFL before the team joined the AFL in 2011. The Suns’ home ground is the newly-built Metricon Stadium on the Gold Coast.
The team is primarily based around youth, including top draft pick David Swallow, with NRL star Karmichael Hunt poached by the AFL to the club.
However, the team’s star player is Brownlow Medallist and Premiership player Gary Ablett, who captains the team.

After watching the Greater Western Sydney versus Gold Coast game on the weekend, one thing stuck out to me. It was the difference a good coach can make, as compared to a lousy one.
