Aidan Schubert is a Gold Coast Sun. Here’s what the trade means for the Hawks, the Suns and your 2027 SuperCoach side.
Ben King walked and the Suns needed a tall. They got one. Aidan Schubert is 198cm, clean in the air and works harder up the ground than most key forwards his age. I break down why he fits next to Jed Walter and Ethan Reed, and why Walter now has to become a 50-goal forward.
For Hawthorn, the maths was simple. King, Gunston, Lewis and Chol can’t all fit in one forward line, and Calsher Dear had already lost his spot. Schubert was sliding down the order the moment King committed. Nobody will say the two deals are linked. I think they are, and I tell you why.
Then the bit that matters for your team. He averaged 24 in SuperCoach and 49 in AFL Fantasy in 2026. That prices him around the rookies in SuperCoach, and I’d rather jump on at the bubble than start him. In AFL Fantasy I’m out.
