Christian Petracca endowed himself to SUNS fans and caught the eye of both coaches on Friday night with a perfect 10 coaches votes to kickstart his Gold Coast career.

The 31-year-old was one of six SUNS to secure votes, with Bailey Humphrey’s four goals from 15 disposals fittingly earning him four votes apiece from both Damien Hardwick and Chris Scott.

John Noble provided both poise across half-back, and a keen eye for goal further up the field, slotting two majors to earn four votes as did vice-captain Touk Miller who was at his explosive best in midfield.

Not much got past Sam Collins in his 150^th game (three votes) while Wil Powell looked right at home in his first foray into the SUNS midfield (one vote)
