List of Gold Coast Suns players

[3][nb 1] In preparation for the club's entry into the league, Gold Coast was provided with a range of recruitment concessions by the AFL, including additional selections in the 2010 AFL draft, early access to recruit underaged players,[nb 2] and access to existing clubs' out-of-contract players in the preceding offseason.

[5] The club was also allowed to operate with an increased playing list size and salary cap in its first four seasons, before these allowances were reduced to be in line with the existing AFL clubs from 2015 as planned.

[9] As every club is required to make a minimum of three changes to its list at the end of each season,[10] not every player necessarily makes a senior appearance for the club before being removed from the playing list.

Since its first competitive appearance, 112 players have represented the club in an AFL premiership match.

[12] As of the conclusion of the 2018 season, the player with the highest individual games tally for Gold Coast is Jarrod Harbrow, who has played 220 matches for the club since 2011.
