An agile and powerful inside midfielder, Coulson formed the fifth part of the Gold Coast SUNS largest Academy haul with pick 46 in the National Draft. He plays in short bursts and is creative by hand but also gains ground with penetrating kicking. Turned it on for the StreetSmarts SUNS Academy with 28 disposals (11 contested), six clearances and 11 entries against Dandenong and 32 touches (11 contested) and five clearances against Northern, while he averaged 24.3 possessions, four clearances 4.8 tackles and 5.5 entries for the Allies to make the under-18 All-Australian interchange.
