Andrew BostonAfter a stellar pre-season, was all-but guaranteed promotion to prior to round one. However, Boston ruptured the ligaments in his ankle and has only just resumed jogging. The half-forward has clean skills and a big future at the SUNS. | |
Jarred EllisHad some pre-season niggles and struggled to make a big impact at reserves level. Only his first year though and has plenty of time to improve. | |
Louis HerbertSmall forward who has shown some exciting glimpses in the NEAFL. Has been in-and-out of games, but with a weak SUNS reserves team on the wrong end of some hidings, it's made his job more difficult. | |
Josh HallThird season at the club and the SUNS need to make a decision on the immediate future of the former high jumper. Had progressed nicely as a key forward, and played five senior games, but had his year stifled by shoulder surgery and will not return to the field. | |
Leigh OsborneCame as a mature-aged rebounding defender but has struggled to consistently impact in his two seasons. Solid footballer who can do a job, but hard to see where he fits in long-term with the likes of Kade Kolodjashnij and Sean Lemmens playing similar roles. |
Summary
At the moment the SUNS have no long-term injuries and cannot elevate anyone. Tom Nicholls (knee), Dan Gorringe (Achilles) and Jack Martin (shoulder) are all expected to return in the next eight weeks.
