Fantasy

A product of the Gold Coast Suns Academy, Ethan Read was secured by the club with pick nine in the 2023 National Draft after the Suns matched a bid from Geelong. Distinguished by a rare athletic profile for a player standing 202cm, Read arrived at the elite level with the aerobic capacity of a midfielder and exceptional field kicking skills. He was introduced to senior football primarily as a forward-ruck utility, where his mobility allowed him to stretch opposition defences and impact the scoreboard while offering support at stoppages. As he continues to build the physical density required to compete with seasoned ruckmen, Read has established himself as a versatile structural key for the Suns, offering a dynamic point of difference to traditional talls.
