Ben Long was one of five Gold Coast Suns to be named in the squad of 44 for the annual All-Australian team this week. He and Jamie Elliott were the only two players named who are genuine medium forwards, with all others primarily midfielders who rest forward in the modern style. While Long's role was technically as third key forward for the first half of 2025, mostly due to injury to genuine talls, the recent addition of Jy Farrar to play that role has not slowed his flow of goals to reach 40 before tonight's game, where he should fill his boots against the Dons.
