I’ve only seen Zeke’s 75m goal

But I’ll admit he is my dad

Geez, good shooter all round then

You would have to think Zeke and Beau will be picked up next year

Kalani White is a bust to date.

Patterson and Murray could still rocket up the draft boards

Hopefully not too far, would be great if we could just pick them up in the 2nd or 3rd round without matching

Never saw him do anything in Juniors at Broadbeach when l watched him.

Patterson looks like a likely type - good athleticism, took the game on, looked good in the contested ball stuff. Probably won't go too high in the draft as a back pocket who probably isn't going to rack up big numbers and seduce recruiters with elite disposal, but a player you would love on your list that could develop into a good role player.

Yeah Patterson looks good. Has a fair bit of burst about him.

We don’t use him down back. That was just one game with selected teams and the coaches needing to find a role for him.

Which made his performance even more incredible. I’d still expect a midfield/half forward split. Given his awesome ball use and showed ability to hit the scoreboard and setup scores

He looked right at home in defence. Could be a real weapon as a running half back.

The Gold Coast Suns Academy production line is poised to churn out two more stars next year, who both shone brightly in the annual under-17 Futures game.
Damien Hardwick’s Suns will have priority access to Beau Addinsall and Zeke Uwland in the 2025 national draft as the club continues to build a list chock-full of talent.

Midfielder Addinsall was everywhere for Team Sloane in the AFL Grand Final curtain-raiser at the MCG on Saturday, gathering a game-high 34 disposals to win his side’s best-on-ground medal.

The 17-year-old’s ability to spread from stoppage and find space was unrivalled, while he was also tough around the contest.

Addinsall got involved in numerous possession chains for Team Sloane, logging 19 handball receives in what was a free-flowing match.

Teammate Uwland – the younger brother of Gold Coast defender Bohdi – also had some nice moments, including a 60m goal on his booming left-foot during the opening quarter.

Uwland finished with 22 disposals, seven marks and two goals playing a half-forward role.



BEAU ADDINSALL

34 disposals, 5 marks, 5 inside-50s, 2 clearances

Wherever the footy was, the Gold Coast Suns Academy member wasn’t far away. The midfielder gathered a game-high 34 disposals to win his side’s best-on-ground medal, with his ability to spread from stoppage and find space unrivalled. He was also tough around the contest and got involved in plenty of possession chains through his 19 handball receives in a free-flowing contest.

ZEKE UWLAND

22 disposals, 7 marks, 7 inside-50s, 2 goals

Another top Gold Coast Suns Academy prospect, Uwland is the younger brother of current Suns player Bodhi. The midfielder spent the game playing a half-forward role and had some big moments, including a huge left-foot goal from 60m in the opening quarter. While he also made a few mistakes, he works hard and laid four tackles, while that left foot is a genuine weapon.
KALANI WHITE

7 disposals, 5 marks, 2 rebound 50s

A father-son prospect for Melbourne as the son of former Demons ruckman Jeff, White featured as a key defender for his side. It wasn’t a huge day for him but he showed some good signs, including a good contested mark early. Measuring 198cm, White is also part of the Gold Coast Suns Academy.
