TALENT DEVELOPMENT
The theme of the carnival is LET THEM PLAY. Coaches are encouraged
to “play the Queensland way”, providing a greater chance of long term
improvements through the following three principles:
ENCOURAGE PLAYERS TO express THEMSELVES
Take the game on: Bounce the football
Take the ball at the highest point: Go for your marks
Take the options: Switch kick & 45 kick
ALLOW THE PLAYERS TO LEARN
THROUGH A discovery ENVIRONMENT
INTRINSIC LEARNING:
• Hearing
• Seeing
• Doing
Coach GAME SENSE
WHAT Decision making
HOW Movement knowledge
ABILITY Skill
GUIDING PRINCIPLES
• Five Forwards to play inside their Attacking half at all times (two Inside Forward 50)
Note: Defenders must also abide by the same principle though not necessarily man on man.
(Note: The only exception to this is when the ball is in transition)
• No “Tagging/Run With”, players whose sole purpose is to prevent an opposition player gaining possession are not
permitted at any time.
• No rolling zone or press is permitted at any time. Once the ball is in general play it’s important to encourage
players to be responsible for their opponent, therefore creating more one on one football.
• Midfielders and Ruckmen to be rested at either end of the ground (where possible) rather than being
interchanged.
• In general play and at stoppages, five Forwards and Defenders must re-set to their required starting position
should they not be directly involved in the play.

Rory
THOMPSON
Despite missing the final four games of the year with a persistent
hamstring injury, Rory Thompson had his best season in SUNS
colours in 2018. He provided stability in the backline as young
players found their feet in the side and could be relied on to contain
some of the competition’s best forwards. Thompson became the
first Gold Coast local to play 100 games for the SUNS in 2018 and
his strong season resulted in a fourth-place finish in the Club
Champion award.
With the acquisition of key defenders Jack Hombsch and Sam
Collins in the off-season, there will be a genuine competition for
spots for Thompson and fellow tall defender Jack Leslie.

Jesse JOYCE
He often goes under the radar on the field, but SUNS Academy
graduate Jesse Joyce has quietly become one of the club’s most
consistent defenders in the last two seasons. At 191cm and 21 years
of age, Joyce is a medium defender who can play tall and is an
excellent kick coming out of the backline.
He played 19 games in 2018 with a quad injury ruling him out for two
games in the early stages of the season. With Chris Burgess, Sam
Collins, Jack Hombsch, Jordan Murdoch, Ben King, Jez McLennan and
Caleb Graham joining the defensive unit in the off-season, there is
plenty of competition for spots in the backline this year.

TEAM
The Moreton Bay Region is one of the fastest growing in the state. We are capturing the next
generation through our continued work in the primary school sector, which has led to good trial
numbers (50+ players). From this we hope to really have an influence in developing tomorrow’s
senior players.

Jack BOWES
Jack Bowes played 16 games in 2018 in what was a huge year
of development for the 21-year-old. Bowes started the season
playing off half-back and occasionally the wing, but was moved
on-ball in the latter stages of the season where he performed
well. He suffered a quad injury in Round 13 which saw him miss
over a month of football, but returned to finish the year strongly,
hitting season-highs in kicks, handballs, disposals, marks and
tackles between Rounds 21-23.

his third AFL season and is set for more midfield time again in

Sexton played every game of the season for the first time in 2018.
Winning the SUNS’ Most Improved award at the Club Champion,
Sexton’s form only got better as the season wore on. He was used
in a couple of roles, predominately as a pressure goal-scoring
forward, but also enjoyed stints on the wing and the occasional
run-with role. His flexibility made him a big asset to Stuart Dew,
but Sexton also said the consistency of playing the majority of his
football in the forward line helped his game last year.
After finishing the year with 28 goals to his name, the most of any
