Gold Coast Suns

Gold Coast Suns are the AFL’s newest football club and entered the competition in 2011. For years the AFL had been planning an AFL team in the Gold Coast and for a second team to be situated in Queensland. The Suns received a plethora of early draft picks and concessions and should be competitive in a couple of years.

Their biggest star is former Geelong premiership player and Brownlow Medallist Gary Ablett, who left the Cats to join the Suns and become their inaugural captain. They play their home games at Carrara Stadium.
