Gold Coast SUNS newest recruit Oskar Faulkhead will make his debut in club colours, named in the VFL side set to take on Collingwood VFL on Sunday.

The 19-year-old was picked up by the SUNS in this week’s mid-season draft and will be a strong addition to the team’s midfield.

The SUNS will be up for the test against the fourth placed Collingwood, with both sides eager to return to the winner’s list after a loss in Round 11.

Sam Day comes out of the side with a call up to the senior AFL team, with Faulkhead joined by Patrick Murtagh, James Tsitas and Jeremy Sharp as this week’s inclusions.

Charlie Constable will also be unavailable for selection due to illness.

SUNS will line up against Collingwood at the AIA Centre in Melbourne from 11:05am on Sunday, with the match to be livestreamed across AFL.com.au’s VFL hub and the official app.
