ANDREW Boston dreams of making an AFL debut and already he has experienced the life of a professional footballer.
Boston, a midfielder from Broadbeach, is Queensland's best teenage prospect ahead of Thursday's draft at the Gold Coast. No fewer than 13 of the 18 clubs are interested in recruiting him, but Boston is aware there are no guarantees.
It is for that reason he set aside 2012 as a gap year, hoping that by eating, sleeping and training in pursuit of his passion it will maximise his chances of tasting the real thing.
"I wanted to spend six days a week training, to set myself up for what it would be like as an AFL player," he said.
"At the start of the year I had a chat with Dad and decided if I was going to have a crack then it would be a serious crack."
Gold Coast have first dibs on the 18-year-old son of former Broadbeach Cats coach Neil as part of their priority Queensland zone selection entitlement.
AFL national talent manager Kevin Sheehan said Boston deserved to be drafted.
The Suns have already pounced on Boston's state under-18 teammate, Clay Cameron from Mt Gravatt.
