Andrew Boston

After 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 Ellis

Had 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 Herbert

Small 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 Hall

Third 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 Osborne

Came 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.
