Gold Coast Academy talent Beau Addinsall is a 182cm midfielder who has held his place as a likely first-round prospect throughout the course of 2025.
Addinsall is a player you can count on week in and week out to produce high volume regardless of what level he is playing at.
A ball-winning midfielder who has a great balance of clean hands and smarts around stoppage and the ability to impact on the spread, Addinsall has an established reputation in the talent pathway.
The Suns prospect announced himself at the U16s Development Championships in 2023, impressing with his flair and ability to impact forward of the footy.
He's since been a staple in the midfield in just about every team he's played in given his suitability to that role, but has a rounded skillset and the football intelligence to enable him to impact wherever he is played early in his career.
Addinsall's excellent endurance is what underpins everything else he does and allows him to rack up monster numbers, averaging 32 disposals for the Suns Academy in 2025.
He played just one game at the U18s National Championships due to a hamstring injury, but it won't diminish his stocks, having long proven his skillset and then shown plenty when he broke through for five late-season VFL games.
A bid for the likeable Sun looks likely to come late in the first round, and expect him to take no time adjusting to life on an AFL list.
