U18 Champs MATCH THREAD; U18 Champs South Australia v Victoria Metro 11:45 AM AEST @Alberton Oval

[PMBangers]

Metro are an absolute rabble.

Expect a call from Metro's CEO to get an apology for this

 

[Haggas]

SA and WA lads shouldn't be slept on no longer

 

[Keystone agony]

Where Schubert ends up going to be fascinating after these 2 games

Clear deficency with his kicking but seems to be accurate at goal, havnt seen enough on field kicking. Going to be the one with the most variatioj of range. Some may have top 5-8

 

[andleanback]

metro playing undisciplined and with no structure, don’t even look to be playing as a team. Coaching group haven’t prepared them well imo

 

[Keystone agony]

Never really understood the hype, he torches the footy.

First ive watched him tbf

 

[Jen2310]

Defence has been really poor for vic metro.
Though some opportunities gone begging up forward.

 

[PMBangers]

To date the champs have done nothing but solidify the fact everyone in this draft would be going 10-15 places lower than they do in any other draft, no one done enough consistently this year, or have the traits, to be considered a genuine top 10 pick outside of Duursma

 

[Thunderstruck]

3/4 time

Quite the dominant term by SA, looked cleaner and really ran well to force pressure and then in waves on the turnover, they look like they wanted it more. VM, a little better very late with some possession footy but off the ball they are not having the best day. Angry individuals and just a bit rash.

SA best: Sharp - he's put them on his back today, couple of goals and burrowing in hard all day. Peucker been sensational, good pressure, speed and finished well. Cumming really improved as the game has worn on, Schubert solid but wasteful. Marsh getting it but can't read the wind too well. Ainsworth a better term and NRT got involved in the middle a lot more. Kelly some good runs.

VM: Greeves looks the best, geez he's a really big lad now and up close is a specimen. McGuane is really having a crack as well, better term. Fincher non fuss all day and tried hard. CDT solid without being too good. Sharkie some nice run and carry.

Lindsay is pretty bloody solid too imo. May not be a top 10 talent in previous years but he's a sure thing at the next level with his kicking imo.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

You wouldn’t want to be drafting key defenders or half back in this years draft. Hardly any stand outs.

 

[andleanback]

Marron is just good enough for champs level

 

[PMBangers]

Marron is just good enough for champs level

Not alone either

 

[PMBangers]

Crazy how KM wasn't wrong, he was just ahead of his time

 

[noobermensch]

I started the year thinking Metro might struggle... and now I feel like they've sneakily ended up with the best squad again.

This aged well

 

[PMBangers]

This aged well

I've always doubted your talent ID

 

[noobermensch]

I've always doubted your talent ID

I've accepted the truth now, you can't hurt me.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Well gonna be interesting to see how the incredibly VIC bias draft power rankings will look after the first couple of weeks of the champs.

Metro putrid outside of a few, Country the same

WA had no real standouts with a very even spread

SA look to have a few good kids but hard to tell if the KPFs are dining out on scrubs or actually just guns.

I'll be contacting AFL HQ to cancel the draft due to their being insufficient vic based talent

Thanks, save me the call!

 

[Haggas]

Aiden Schubert should be near top 10 now. On his contested marking alone.

 

[PMBangers]

3. Dyson Sharp
2. Sam Cumming
1. Matt LeRay

 

[eDPS]

My bests

SA
Sharp, Schubert, Cumming, LeRay, Ainsworth, Peucker

Metro
Greeves, Duff-Tytler, Sharkie, Taylor

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Draft this year basically will end at pick 10 IMO. Glad Eagles won’t be taking nothing but academy picks outside of the top 5 picks

 

[Haggas]

Dyson Sharp back in the pick 1 discussion like he should be

Aiden Schubert should be near top 10 now. On his contested marking alone.

He was playing against scrubs tbf
