Suns cut five as clean-out continues

Sep 4, 2017 - 7:13 AM Gold Coast have cut five players from the AFL club's contract list as the clean-out under chief executive Mark Evans continues.

Senior listed pair Jarrad Grant and Mitch Hallahan, as well as rookies Keegan Brooksby, Ryan Davis and Cameron Loersch, were not offered deals for next season as part of the club's initial list overhaul.

Coach Rodney Eade was sacked with three games remaining in the season as part of Evans' ongoing internal review.

"On behalf of everyone involved with the Gold Coast Suns, we want to commend the players for the contributions they have made to the club," football manager Marcus Ashcroft said.

"We wish them every success and all the best for the future."

Grant joined the Suns in 2016 after being delisted by the Western Bulldogs and played just one senior game this year.

Struggling for game time after originally being drafted by Hawthorn in 2010, Hallahan moved to the Gold Coast in 2015 but couldn't earn a regular senior spot.
