Gold Coast concluded the NAB AFL Trade Period with seven new faces including former Richmond duo Anthony Miles and Corey Ellis, George Horlin-Smithand Jack Hombsch.

Josh Corbett, Sam Collins and Chris Burgess also joined the club as part of the special assistance provided by the AFL Commission.

AFL Media have taken a look at how our best 22 might look to start the 2019 season:

B: Jesse Joyce, Rory Thompson, Callum Ah Chee
HB: Pearce Hanley, Jack Hombsch, Jarrod Harbrow
C: Lachie Weller, Anthony Miles, Jack Martin
HF: Josh Corbett, Sam Day, Ben Ainsworth
F: Alex Sexton, Peter Wright, Aaron Young
FOLL:  Jarrod Witts, Touk Miller, David Swallow
I/C: Will Brodie, Jarryd Lyons, Jack Bowes, Nick Holman 

Change is coming on the Gold Coast and spots are well and truly on the line this pre-season. Three newcomers crack this SUNS’ 22, with one-time Cat George Horlin-Smith considered but ultimately just missing out. Brayden Fiorini is dreadfully unlucky, but will play a lot of senior football in 2019. Swingman Chris Burgess and former Docker Sam Collins bolster the club's tall stocks and may come into early contention. Last year's first-round pick Wil Powell, ex-Tiger Corey Ellis and Darcy Macpherson, who is loved internally, are also around the mark. Corbett comes straight in to add marking power to Gold Coast's attack, while Hombsch will provide much-needed support for Thompson. The SUNS' competitiveness might come down to whether the remodelled midfield performs and the Wright-Day combination works up forward. - Marc McGowan
