Happy to wear a tie that looks good & happy to live in a multi cultural country. Oldest culture is a weird 1. Its all he said she said. Im more interested with the largely homogenous chinese civilisation. 3,500 years of written history within a largely homogenous society that still exists today. I think Australia was such a harsh land to live off it was all about survival, there wasnt much time to advance technologically.
Tie looks good. Tie makes me look less worse.

not jess
Fair enough! Just playing SJW devil’s advocate
Sorry, don't have as much to do with the NGA boys as I did last year.
I personally hope we still pick him as I think he can play.
Give it up Tundra. We ain't picking that WC fan boi. Get on the Liam Henry train for next year instead.
Can someone please provide an update on the Walker twins in our academy?
I heard that they are very good and can we take them next year?

Year after next for the Walker twins, in 2020.
Next year is Henry, Butters, Thomas and Kelly.

Bit odd that only brandon walker got into the state academy

The list that I have has an 11th signing being Riley Colborne from South Fremantle Metro zone.
No WAFL profile for but he is the youngest of the lot. 15 at the moment (bear in mind the list you’ve posted is a year out of date therefore everyone is a year older). Probably the reason he has no WAFL profile to be truthful.
Anyway, anyone know anything about this kid?

Western, Henry and B.Walker are all on that list.

Sorry i should have clarified...... i find it odd only 1 of the walker twins got in. Will make it difficult for mr and mrs walker having to take them to completely different programs
Possibly an admin error. They haven't realised there are two Walker boys yet
Perhaps a silver lining of not picking medhat is that it makes the kids realise that whilst they’ve got a great opportunity, being in the NGA still doesn’t gaurentee you’ll get listed. As for the quality of the other kids - not sure. Think B.Walker made U16 AA, so that’s gotta be promising!

Western has played a bit of colts this year which is impressive given he's a bottom ager next year and his draft year is the year after. Also played in the champs and seems to have gone ok - seems to be a speedy winger
Not bad for a 15 year old at the time

That first game for Claremont colts against Souths he was best on - not a bad debut. He's currently behind Sharp and Jackson for next year's draft (who are both top 10 quality) but he's still a super talent and in the mix with Deven Robertson and Rhai Arn Cox as other very good WA prospects.
One of the best players for Souths in that same game was another NGA prospect of ours in Manfred Kelly. Pity Kelly is only 169cm though - hopefully he has a big growth spurt
We'll certainly draft Henry, not sure about the other 3 NGA prospects (Kelly, Butters and Thomas). Can't see Henry getting through to Cat B like Carter but most thought Jason was 2nd/3rd round bid worthy this time last year, so who knows?
Yeah, I noticed Kelly's height.That first game for Claremont colts against Souths he was best on - not a bad debut.

Henry sound promising.

12 months is a long time in development football. A lot can happen
Brandon has always been the better footballer, Chris the better athlete, but i'd be surprised if both don't make it on our list.
Not sure associating with Brad Hill is the key to get drafted at Freo but ties look great...
