BODHI Uwland is fresh off winning his first Gold Coast best and fairest, but he no longer has bragging rights in the family household.

They now belong to Zeke, who got the better of big brother in a tight head-to-head battle at the recent Noosa Triathlon.

The Uwland brothers, along with vice-captain Sam Collins, were given the green light by the Suns to compete in the 1.5km swim, 40km ride and 10km run event on Queensland's Sunshine Coast.

"It was a good result," Zeke beamed following a lengthy training session at Carrara on Thursday.

"'Collo' beat myself and Bodhi by a minute, and I got my brother by 17 seconds.

"I'll hold that 17 seconds over him for a long-time. It's not much, but it counts."

The event was slightly altered prior to the race when sharks were spotted in the open water swim, forcing organisers to replace the opening leg with a 1km beach run.

"There’s not many things I'd beat him in, so I'll take that," he said.

"He's got a little chip on his shoulder now, the size of his head."

The 19-year-old has impressed in his first week back at training, finishing third in the 2km time trial for first to four-year players on Monday.

After playing 17 games in his debut season, Uwland said he was expecting to spend time at half-back in 2027.

"I got a bit of exposure there towards the back end of last year, but building on with a whole pre-season will be pretty cool," he said.

"That defensive craft will be a good learning over the pre-season."
