Any father-son/father-daughter picks coming up in the near future?

[Eastern Rangers]

He wasn't good enough??

He's coming from behind others. The AIS tends to forward talls a lot even if they prove undeserving in the long term and this year is a talls draft.

All of the WA players were added to the AIS as 16 year olds. Heppell, Prestia, Caddy, Polec for example are players that didn't go through the AIS and ended up top ten picks.

Looking at WA and the AIS group id say that Alec looks like one of the top three midfielders in the draft along with Angus Brayshaw and Lachlan Weller. Obviously there are other non AIS mids from other states who will also make their case.

And you can't hide players in the Colts.

Jordan Matera named on an extended bench for Sandy, but I believe he will be an emergency. First time named though and it means he must be fit now and not far off playing. Will go if he's named on the ground next time.

Also, is this the week where WA under 18s have a 'bonding' weekend? None of the big names are playing as far as I can tell.

Away with the AIS?

Deluca, Anderson, Blakely are all listed to play league. Lots of other U18 players are listed in the budget, though that's no guarantee they'll play.

Court, Hardisty might still be injured.

Article on Alec waterman in the weekend west. Interesting that he is viewed as a late second rounder/ early third selection.

Not up yet.

It's incredible doubtful that the best performing underage player from WA in 2013 is considered a late second rounder let alone third rounder.

Shows there reporters dont have a clue, he is currently the best junior mid in the country.
After three rounds he has argubaly been BOG three times.

Weather he can keep that up is the question, but at the moment no other mid around the country
is going as well.

In AFL.com group think we trust.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Would be awesome if we could get him with a 2nd or 3rd round pick, but obviously pretty unlikely.

 

[bodazoka]

I just hope our first rounder is high enough so that when we bid it it's considered a win!

I dunno... maybe pick #18

Agreed, not quite as satisfying if we use pick 7 or 8 on someone who might have gone 5 or 6.

I was wondering why I started getting all these spam messages from NAMBLA all of a sudden...

good episode that one

 

[twce13]

so apparently matera played, and was named in the best for the dragons (they got killed though).

Just watched Alecs highlights vid from the last 2 years, looks pretty good.

Is he a left or right footer? I couldn't tell watching that, seems to go alright on both.

Left

I read that article in the paper too and my eyes nearly popped out. Can you image if we got Alec for a third-rounder! It would be the biggest steal of the draft since Darling
