Teams in for this weekend's U18 Championship games:

Looks like they've corrected at least some of the player number errors from last week's team list.

The Metro team is certainly interesting. I’d easily make room for Gross and Docking. Gross not even emergency makes me laugh

Would you call that a "gross" error in judgement?

Na all good. Docking can stay at sandy

Really looking forward to the Allies v Western Australia game on Fox Footy tomorrow arvo. I think Walter will be pumped to put on a show with the amount of eyes that will be on him tomorrow and really stamp his authority as the best key forward in this year's draft class. It's also a really great opportunity for the Allies to put themselves in a winning position to claim the U18 National Championships (for the first time ever?) with their next game against Vic Metro being played in Brisbane and seemingly more winnable with home ground advantage. That'll really put the wind up the traditional big 3 states if a composite Allies team claims the National Championship but it also means the game is growing nationally and we should all be happy about that.

Nice to see another Gold Coaster in Levi Ashcroft dominating for Vic Metro as a bottom ager today. Almost up to 30 disposals now in the fourth quarter.

Brisbane have a beauty on their hands with their third Ashcroft. They'll be stoked to add another elite Queenslander to their list.
