NEAFL boys start to gel

SUNS NEAFL coach Nick Malceski says the team has started to turn their season around on the back of improved cohesion as they go into the bye week in the top six.

Gold Coast began the season 0-4 but have won back-toback games, the latest a 13.11 (89) to 8.12 (60) victory over Aspley at Voxson Oval on Saturday.

“The last couple of weeks we have started to turn it around a little bit,” Malceski said. “It looks like the guys are gelling a little better.”

Ben King kicked three goals while Sam Day, Hewago Paul Oea and Josh Gore slotted two each to go with Will Brodie’s 34-disposal performance.

“Ben is contesting really well,” Malceski said.

“Him and Daysy have been really solid for us up forward, they are predictable with where they want the ball. All the boys played pretty well.

“They played their role for the team, that is all we expect from them each week.”

Former Richmond player Corey Ellis returned from an ankle injury to play for the Suns reserves, recording 10 disposals off halfback and wing as he searches for fitness.

“He started at halfback and only played just under 80 minutes,” Malceski said.
