It is expected Gulden will move to more of an inside mid role for the 2026 season.Â
Sydney assistant coach Ben Mathews recently said (via SEN) that Gulden has enjoyed a mostly uninterrupted pre-season.Â
Gulden fractured his ankle on the eve of the 2025 season, he did not play until Round 15 after a lengthy rehabilitation period.Â
Mathews also confirmed that Gulden has trained most of the pre-season as an inside mid and that it would benefit the team with the ball in his hands more rather than being isolated on a wing at times.Â
