THE NAB Cup can't come soon enough for the Gold Coast Suns with tensions today spilling over into a training stoush between Campbell Brown and Maverick Weller.
No punches were thrown but the pair had to be separated several times by senior players Karmichael Hunt and Jarrod Harbrow during a running verbal battle that lasted for a couple of minutes.
It came close to re-erupting as the players walked from the field for a drinks break when Brown, reacting to something Weller said, spun around and attempted to force his way through several team mates to get to the young defender.

The veteran hardman predictably played down the incident at the completion of training saying it was evidence the young side were sticking to their pre-season commitment to demand higher standards from each other and to communicate better.
"There was nothing in it, there are certainly no hard feelings,'' Brown said.
"It may not have looked ideal but there was a bit of feedback given and the point was certainly made.''
The Suns are itching for the start of the pre-season competition and the opportunity it provides to carry on the momentum built at the tail end of last season.
The tournament is particularly important for Brown who is suspended for the first six weeks of the premiership season.
He said he had never been a fan of the pre-season tournament, preferring to ease his way into a season, but this year he would be treating the games like premiership matches to give the coaching group a reminder of what he can offer the side.
"I got myself into this predicament and I'm going to fight my way out of it,'' he said.
The Suns have almost a full squad of fit players and positions for Rd 1 will be hotly contested during the NAB Cup.
The club's biggest concern is the continued absence of vice-captain Nathan Bock from full training.
Bock, who missed the majority of last season with a broken leg, is still limping and looks to be extremely doubtful to be fit for the start of the premiership competition.
