The Gold Coast SUNS wish to thank Kate Surman, Jacqui Yorston, Britt Perry and Cheyenne Hammond for their services to the club after a trade was struck with Port Adelaide for the four players.
The SUNS will receive selections 34 and 81 in the upcoming NAB AFLW Draft in exchange for the players, giving the club two first-round picks in the upcoming NAB AFLW Draft.

“Pleasingly we have been able to strengthen our draft hand as a result of this trade and now have two first-round picks.”
