About

The Gold Coast Suns are the second newest team in the AFL after the GWS Giants having only joined the league in 2011. The club has been playing in the AFL since the 2011 season, having been founded as the league's 17th active club by a consortium formerly known as "GC17" and being granted a licence to join the AFL on 1 April 2009. The team is based in the Gold Coast suburb of Carrara and play matches at Carrara Stadium, known for commercial purposes as Heritage Bank Stadium, and train at the adjacent Gold Coast Sports and Leisure Centre. The club is one of two AFL clubs based in Queensland, the other being its main rival, the Brisbane Lions.

The Suns have worked hard to promote AFL growth in Queensland, having succeeded in raising participation levels in Junior football, AFLW, and Auskick programs by 82%.

In 2023, Stuart Dew faced challenges with the Gold Coast Suns, leading to his departure despite a modest improvement in the team's performance. The departure of Damien Hardwick from Richmond triggered a series of events that lead to Hardwick being announced as the new coach of the Gold Coast suns for season 2024. The team's decline to nine wins in season 2023 played a role in this decision. However, the upcoming 2024 AFL season holds promise for the Gold Coast Suns as they look to assemble the most talented roster in their history. Their incredible draft hand where they brought in exciting acadmey prospects in Jed Walter and Ethan Read, who were both top-10 picks, as well as Jake Rodgers at pick 14, has brought much excitement to the Gold Coast culture! These young, local talents aim to inject energy and talent into the team, and potentially spark a first time finals run that will excite Gold Coast fans.
