Hey guys, scuse the intrusion. Thought you might like to have this resource on your board (mods might like to sticky):

Well that sucks.

Was expected.

How is Daniel Motlop's kid draft age already? * I'm getting old.

How is Daniel Motlop's kid draft age already? fu** I'm getting old.

Your age by comparison to Football players:

Young - I want to be drafted!
Young adult - Ok, I'm draft age and not drafted
Youngish adult - There are players my age
Not a young adult - There aren't any players younger than me
Early middle aged - Players I watched when younger now have kids on list
Mid/Late middle aged - My kids could be drafted
Old - My kids are older than any players

We need to win a flag real soon or we'll be drafting players who weren't born when we won our last one...

We can still get Motlop if hes good enough to go top 20

I was well into my 40s before I finally accepted I would never be a Port Adelaide premiership player

I'm 64 - and I still dream of taking a hanger, and kicking a goal on the siren, to win the flag for the Magpies.

When I was younger we were close family friends with the Meads. In '95 Darren didn't have kids yet and after the winning GF he grabbed me from the crowd on the lap of honour and I got to go into the rooms and get involved in the very non-PG song singing and celebrations. I was 13 at the time. It was still nearly 5 years before he had a kid, now not only has he got a kid, but 2, and both have played for us. That's something that reminds me of how old I am now everytime I see pics of Jackson.

Recruiting teams across the nation will have their work cut out when underage action returns in 2021.

With just hours until the first bounce of the AFL season, it means there isn’t long until the elite young talent is also running around in front of scouts.

Early discussions among recruiting circles is that this year’s draft pool is set to be full of midfielders at the top.

Tex has been training with Essendon......

I don't think he'll be drafted. Wasn't very good last year and now he's out with a long term injury.

If the SANFL had their way 100% with the top up rules you would probably get your chance.

He will fit perfectly in at the bombers then.

How would that work with the FS rookie rule?

PORT Adelaide will get a close look at father-son prospect Jase Burgoyne when the talented midfielder joins the club for a week of training this month as part of his NAB AFL Academy program.

The Power will also have potential No.1 pick Jason Horne training with the club, which his step-father Fabian Francis played 86 games for as an original member of the AFL line-up.

Burgoyne, the son of 2004 premiership player Peter and brother of currently-listed Port player Trent, impressed last season at under-18 level for Woodville West Torrens. Horne, meanwhile, shapes as a very early selection after starring in 2020 and graduating to South Adelaide's senior side.

The 21 members of the NAB AFL Academy squad have been assigned clubs at which they will train and take part in the full AFL program to better prepare them for the top level.

The NAB AFL Academy crop of 2021 will spend a week training at AFL clubs this month. Check out where they're headed

SANFL U/16’s

Not 2021, maybe 2023 but #23, #31 and #39 for South’s looked handy last night, #2 and #6 for North look a level above and #25 for Central’s look prospects today.

Has anyone heard of this kid Kade Dittmar? I was on the draft central website and his name came up. This article is a couple of years old but says his dream is to play for Port like his old man and grandfather.

 

[VineValerian]

Mark played with his cousin Michael (Jnr) back in the days, if I remember correctly. Was he the son of Wally? Bit of an age difference if he is.
Short, blonde haired, mid/half forward type?

Michael was like his Dad - tall and rangy KPP. Never made the most of his talents. Michael (Snr) kicked 9 goals in one SANFL game around 1970'ish.

Mark Dittmar played a handful of games in 1992. Not sure where they get he was a premiership player though

Tyler Sonsie gets 34 touches and 2 goals in his first game of the year

It looks to be an insanely strong draft from Sa this season

And we may get none of them (we have picks 18 (F/S?) 58 & 61.)

 

[VineValerian]

Not overly relevant, but old mate Chris Dittmar's old man was Alan Dittmar who played in the early 1950's.
Wallace (Wally), Alan and Michael (snr) were apparently brothers, albeit their playing careers spanned across more than 20 years.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

And we may get none of them (we have picks 18 (F/S?) 58 & 61.)

I wouldn't put it past us to find a way to upgrade our 1st and get ahead of Burgoyne and the Crows 1st rounder

Anyone know why jase b isn't playing

 

[philthy05]

We just need to get ahead of a jase bid.

1st + jase + let Parker do his thing with some late picks
